ALBAWABA - A court in Russia has ordered the jail of three theater figures over a play that visualizes the story of ISIS wives and speaks about true events.
The military court in Moscow found a Russian playwright and a theatre director guilty of "justifying terrorism" over the ISIS wives' play called "The Brave Falcon Finist".
According to BBC, Director Yevgenia Berkovich and playwright Svetlana Petrichuk were sentenced to six years each by the court.
Yevgenia Berkovich and Svetlana Petrichuk were both banned by the military court from "administering websites" for three years after detention release.
The theater figures had organized a play that is based on true stories of Russian women who went to Syria amid civil war to marry members of the Islamic State (ISIS) group. However, they were accused of normalizing "terrorism".
Court said that the Russian play had clear "signs of justification of terrorism."
"I have absolutely no idea what this selection of words has to do with me... I have never shared any forms of Islam, radical or otherwise," Berkovich said as quoted by RBC.
