Artyom Savelov's day

In Moscow, the support campaign for "swamp prisoners" started. On April 6, a rally was held in the Novopushkinsky Square . Starting from April 7, every day is dedicated to one of 27 accused. The culmination of the campaign should be a large -scale action on the anniversary of events on Bolotnaya.

April 7th was dedicated to Artem Savelov. Activists told about it metro passengers and passers -by.

The video message in support of Artem was recorded by former deputy Gennady Gudkov.

Artem Savelov was detained on June 9. Like most “swamp prisoners”, he was charged with two articles of the Criminal Code: 212 (mass riots) and 318 (violence against a representative of the authorities). According to investigators, Savelov shouted the slogan "Down with the police state!" And others grabbed the police officer by the hand and body armor. The video shows clearly that Artem was only 3 minutes on Bolotnaya Square. Being against his will, squeezed out by the crowd for a police cordon, he was detained almost immediately after that.

Artem has an extremely severe form of stuttering, he can hardly speak. However, the assertion that he chanted the slogans, recorded in the protocol on administrative detention, migrated into a criminal case.
