Am I wrong, or were they prosecuted for making explosive substances, among other things, not for minecraft?
From a description of the case in Wikipedia [1]:
> The prosecutors discovered that the boys had engaged in backyard chemical experiments, with their parents' knowledge, including making a saltpeter smoke device and an improvised Molotov cocktail.

- SXX 5y agoI'm not going to argue with you either since I just learned about this case myself like today. But even if we completely trust to russian investigators, there still huge questions. 1. Why are they trialed by military court? Like no journalists allowed and everything off-the-record? 2. Do you think that 9 years sentence to a kid who didnt harm anyone is okay? 3. Do you think anyone would care about them messing with said substances if they would just blow their limbs off accidentally, instead going to stick some political agitation to FSB building?
