  • Pavlo Lapshyn
    IN THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT 25 OCTOBER 2013 THE QUEEN -v- PAVLO LAPSHYN _______________________________ SENTENCING REMARKS OF MR. JUSTICE SWEENEY _______________________________ Pavlo Lapshyn you are 25 years old and from Ukraine. You have no previous convictions. You have pleaded guilty to murder (Count 1), to causing an explosion with intent to endanger life (Count 3), and to engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts (Count 4). All those crimes took place in the West Midlands. The murder was carried out within 5 days of your arrival in this country as a highly qualified engineer on a 12 month work placement. Thereafter and within a period of less than two months you planted and detonated three improvised explosive devices in the vicinity of three mosques in Walsall, Wolverhampton and Tipton respectively. You were clearly planning to plant and detonate yet more such devices until you were arrested as a result of excellent police work and the help of the public. You clearly hold extreme right wing white supremacist views, and you were motivated to commit the offences by religious and racial hatred in the hope that you would ignite racial conflict and cause Muslims to leave the area where you were living. Such views, hatreds and motivation are abhorrent to all right thinking people, and have no place whatsoever in our multi-faith and multi-cultural society. In September 2012 whilst studying for a PhD at a University in the Ukraine you were interviewed with a view to receiving a placement on a work programme operated by a Midlands based UK company.

  • Information for Persons Who Wish to Seek Asylum in the Russian Federation
    INFORMATION FOR PERSONS WHO WISH TO SEEK ASYLUM IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in the other countries asylum from persecution”. Article 14 Universal Declaration of Human Rights I. Who is a refugee? According to Article 1 of the Federal Law “On Refugees”, a refugee is: “a person who, owing to well‑founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of particular social group or politi‑ cal opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country”. If you consider yourself a refugee, you should apply for Refugee Status in the Russian Federation and obtain protection from the state. If you consider that you may not meet the refugee definition or you have already been rejected for refugee status, but, nevertheless you can not re‑ turn to your country of origin for humanitarian reasons, you have the right to submit an application for Temporary Asylum status, in accordance to the Article 12 of the Federal Law “On refugees”. Humanitarian reasons may con‑ stitute the following: being subjected to tortures, arbitrary deprivation of life and freedom, and access to emergency medical assistance in case of danger‑ ous disease / illness. II. Who is responsible for determining Refugee status? The responsibility for determining refugee status and providing le‑ gal protection as well as protection against forced return to the country of origin lies with the host state. Refugee status determination in the Russian Federation is conducted by the Federal Migration Service (FMS of Russia) through its territorial branches.
