Forensic comedy

On May 26 at 1:30 p.m., a protest action against the conviction of Lydia Popova will begin near the Ostankino court. An elderly woman who tried to stop illegal dog catching is accused of beating two young police officers. The trial is taking place with many violations. Even Popova’s “terrible weapon” – a bag of food – was not identified by all prosecution witnesses. Moreover, it is not clear who exactly “beat” Popova, since she claims that she was detained by police officers Seleznev and Dolgov, while Seleznev and Osipov appear in the case.
