Russia Issues Arrest Warrant For Kasparov On Terrorist Charges
In March Russia added GM Garry Kasparov to its list of "terrorists and extremists". Last week they went one step further to arrest the chess legend in absentia for "terrorist activities".
For anyone unaware of who Kasparov is, he's a very famous chess World Champion from Russia who held the title for 15 years.

From the article...
A city court in Syktyvkar, the largest city in Russia's northwestern Komi region, is charging Kasparov of "creating a terrorist society, leading it, financing terrorist activities, and publicly justifying them," according to Kremlin-backed outlet TASS.
Its getting rediculous how countries trump up charges against their enemies.
Why is there a license in your comment?
A lack of understanding about how copyright and licensing works.
Or how bots that scrape websites to gather data work.
It's like the people who used to put messages about preventing Facebook from using their content in their profile descriptions. It probably won't actually do anything, but it's a nice thought and more power to them if it makes them feel better.
What an odd thing to do.
"more power to them" it it makes them feel better.
What a funny statement. "More power to them" while it won't do anything because they dont have the power to prevent facebook doing what its doing so its just making them feel better.
