Second sentence refers anti-government activities NOT related to a video game:
“A military court in Siberia sentenced the boy, 16-year-old Nikita Uvarov, to five years for the charges — which stemmed from anti-government leaflets he’d handed out and videos on cellphones belonging to Uvarov and at least two others.”
Next states that in the investigation they ALSO found the video game.
“Authorities also said they’d uncovered a plot by the teens to blow up a virtual building belonging to the Russian Federal Security Service, or FSB, that they’d built in the block-building game Minecraft.”
So you are saying they are in jail for five years for handing out leaflets? Is that any better?
Bingo. If one is going to invest some time to learn more, they were disseminating leaflets calling for the attacks on law enforcement and were assembling an explosive device with the goal to blow by the real building.
Minecraft on their devices is totally unrelated to the charges, but the media has turned it into propaganda and you don’t need to know it.
