Detention: On May 15, 2025, 29-year-old local resident and Ukrainian citizen Yan Haupt was detained in Krasnodar. It is likely that after his detention, he was taken to Ust-Labinsk, where an administrative offense report was filed against him for disobeying a lawful order of a law enforcement officer.

Sentence: As of July 17, 2026, no sentence has been issued. Yan Haupt remains in custody. The Russian Federation accuses him under Part 1 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Terrorist Act”), Part 1 of Article 222 (“Illegal possession of weapons”), and Article 274 (“Violation of the rules for the operation of storage, processing, or transmission of computer information”). The case is in the pre-trial investigation stage. Human rights defenders note that the criminal prosecution appears politically motivated.

Yan Yuriyovych Haupt was born on April 12, 1996. He is a citizen of Ukraine. Before the criminal prosecution began, he lived in temporarily occupied Crimea and recently resided in Krasnodar (Russian Federation). Other biographical details, such as education, profession, or marital status, are not publicly available.

Yan Haupt's detention became known after updates to databases of human rights organizations documenting the criminal prosecution of Ukrainian citizens. According to available information, he was deprived of liberty on May 15, 2025, and subsequently placed in custody. The circumstances of the detention, its location, and the course of investigative actions are not disclosed in open sources.

On May 19, 2025, Judge Konstantin Salalykin of the Ust-Labinsk District Court of Krasnodar Krai sentenced the Ukrainian to 15 days of administrative arrest.

On May 29, 2025, Haupt was charged with committing a terrorist act, illegal trafficking of weapons and ammunition, and unlawful influence on Russia's critical information infrastructure. Details of the charges are unknown. On the same day, the Oktyabrsky District Court of Krasnodar placed him in a pre-trial detention centre at the investigation's request.

The Crimean Tatar Resource Center also included Yan Haupt's case in its annual analysis of human rights violations in temporarily occupied territories. The report notes that his prosecution became known only at the end of 2025, indicating a practice of concealing information about Ukrainian citizens unlawfully detained by the Russian Federation.

As of July 17, 2026, Yan Haupt is held in Pre-trial Detention Centre No. 1 of Krasnodar Krai. Information about the case being transferred to court, the start of the trial, or the issuance of a sentence is not available in open sources.
