— These are not my first complaints to the police and the prosecutor's office. And I am very disappointed with systematic failures. The lack of full-fledged investigations into these allegations leads to the fact that not only comments that humiliate my human dignity appear, but also such appeals, — said Valentina Likhoshva.
In addition to insults, in the comments under the publication about her awarding there were also calls to "Shoot the carrion!" and "Burn her!". Likhoshva appealed to the prosecutor's office and the police with a request to investigate, as she considers these statements to be calls for her murder.
“I took these threats realistically and now I fear their implementation,” she wrote in a statement. — I believe that the actions of these people may contain signs of a crime under Part 2 of Art. 119 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation [“Threat of murder or infliction of grievous bodily harm”] ”.
She also asked the prosecutor of the Murmansk region to conduct administrative investigations under Articles 5.61 ("Insult"), 20.3.1 ("Incitement to hatred or hostility, as well as humiliation of human dignity") and 20.1 ("Petty hooliganism") of the Administrative Code.
