#Australian #PrimeMinister calls #OscarJenkins' #Russian #jail sentence an 'outrage'.
Jenkins was found guilty of participating in an armed conflict as a mercenary, a court ruled he had fought against Russian troops between March & December last year & is to serve his sentence "in a strict regime penal colony"
"This sentence by Russia is an outrage," #Albo said. "It is a continuation of the way [#Russia has] behaved. This conflict began with them invading a sovereign nation” #Ukraine #auspol

Australian Foreign Minister condemns "sham trial"
#Australian #OscarJenkins sentenced to 13 years in jail by #Russia for fighting alongside #Ukrainian forces.
Russia and its eastern Ukrainian proxies consider foreigners who have travelled to fight in Ukraine to be #mercenaries, which enables them to be prosecuted under Russia's criminal code rather than having to be treated as #prisonersofwar — which would entitle them to rights under the #GenevaConvention. #auspol #RussianInvasion
#Australia will use “whatever avenues” it can to help Melbourne man #OscarJenkins, who reportedly faces a 15-year #jail term in #Russia for fighting with #Ukrainian troops. #auspol #Ukraine #RussianInvasion #WarCriminalPutin
#PennyWong expressed ‘importance of #OscarJenkins’ condition’ to #Russian foreign minister at G20.
Asked if Wong has spoken to him and raised the issue of #POW #Australian Oscar Jenkins, Wong says #Australia has halted engagement with Russian officials at a senior level since the #invasion of #Ukraine but made an exception for that on Thursday.

#PennyWong say, “First I want to say that we call on #Russia to release #OscarJenkins.
First I want to say that we call on Russia to release Mr Jenkins. We hold serious concerns for his warfare, and I have, and we will continue to engage with both &. the #RedCross, in relation to Mr Jenkins.
The govt was aware of this video in recent days. I will say, we do know that Russia is very prone to #misinformation & disinformation” #auspol
A new #video of #Australian #prisoner of war, #OscarJenkins, has been released online.
The unverified #YouTube clip appears to show him alive in #Russian captivity.
The #Australian government has been told by #Moscow that one of its citizens in #Russian #captivity is still alive.
#OscarJenkins, a 32-year-old teacher, was captured last year while fighting for #Ukraine.
Earlier, reports were that Jenkins had been killed while in captivity, with the Australian government citing "grave concerns" for his welfare.
An #Australian with links to #Ukraine's armed forces said he had been provided "unnerving information" that pointed to #OscarJenkins being killed soon after being #captured.
"Oscar's body was discovered by my friend's sister squad. It appears that they were #executed," he said.
"Oscar's body was with 3 or 4 others who were from the same squad. [They were] all found in the same area where the video was taken.”
A top official in #Kyiv has told the ABC that #Russia has "a deep-seated hatred" of foreign nationals fighting for Ukraine.
The warning comes amid reports Putin's troops had #killed #OscarJenkins, an #Australian they'd #captured in Ukraine's #Donbas region last year.
