Today, March 10, 2026, a trial was held in Yekaterinburg for Father Nikandr under Article 205, Part 2; the court handed down a sentence of 5.5 years in a general-regime penal colony. The prosecutor had requested 6.5 years. This sentence was imposed for a "like" on Facebook. There is a 15-day window to file an appeal. His defense attorney will prepare the appeal. This ruling addresses only one of the charges, whereas Father Nikandr stands accused of three counts in total. Father Nikandr will once again be transported to Krasnoturyinsk, where he will remain in a pre-trial detention center for the time being.  We ask for your prayers for Father Nikandr.

Сегодня, 10 марта 2026 года, в Екатеринбурге состоялся суд над о. Никандром, по ст. 205, ч. 2-я, который вынес приговор 5.5 лет общего режима. Прокурор просил 6.5. Это за лайк в фейсбуке. Есть 15 дней на обжалование. Адвокат составит апелляцию. Это только по одной статье, а о. Никандру инкриминируют три. Отца Никандра снова увезут в Краснотурьинск. Пока будет находиться в СИЗО. Просим молитв за о. Никандра.

Does anyone have more information in English?  What was the "like" that gave them the excuse to harass him?  What are the other charges?   

Notice also reporter Tucker Carlson is being harassed.   He uploaded a short 4-minute video on his You Tube channel explaining about it.  I understand it is common for reporters to go missing.  Not just in Russia.   Tucker does not seem to realize this is just a warning, that his life is in danger.
