From Times Wire Reports
Prosecutors have charged a Russian blogger who wrote on a popular Internet site that police should be publicly incinerated, in what is believed to be the country’s first such case against a blogger.
Savva Terentyev said he was charged with inciting hatred in a court in the northern city of Syktyvkar.
The charges were filed Tuesday. They stem from Terentyev’s posting on a Web forum in February 2007 that criticized Russian police in the wake of a raid on an opposition newspaper.
