Spring landings

The Kalininsky district court of St. Petersburg arrested the 18-year-old activist of the Youth Movement "Vesna" Vladimir Kazachenko for two months in the case of the seduction of a minor. This is reported by the telegram channel of movement.

Kazachenko will be sent to pre-trial detention center-1 "Crosses-2" in Kolpin.

The arrest of the second person involved in the case - the same age as Kazachenko Vadim Tishkin - is not reported.

Kazachenko and Tishkin were detained on February 19 . The next day, the Investigative Committee handed over that both of Article 135 of the Criminal Code were imputed (depraved actions without the use of violence against a person under the age of 16, committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy). This norm provides for 7 to 15 years in the colony. The episode, incriminated by young people, is dated to this Monday - 18th.

On Tuesday, the St. Petersburg media reported that the video recording of sexual intercourse was discovered in the smartphone of a 14 -year -old schoolgirl - a supporter of "spring", which takes place in the case of the victim. The operatives detained her with a certain companion (presumably Tishkin), saying that they suspect a girl under article 228 of the Criminal Code (drug trafficking).

On the night of the 19th, the operatives in civilian, tried to get home to Kazachenko. They stated that they want to talk about the day earlier than false messages about the mining of a number of city objects. The activist did not open to the security forces, and after five hours, according to Fontanka.ru, they left.

Late in the evening of February 19, the telegram channel "Help for the detainees-St. Petersburg" reported that Kazachenko and Tishkin are in the city OP-15, where officials of the Investigative Committee work with them. It was reported that there are a 17-year-old girl (in one of the publications of the media she was mentioned as another participant in the incident) and a certain witness.

Even later on the same day it turned out that neither Kazachenko nor Tishkin, contrary to what the media previously wrote, was not recognized. Social activists reported to Tishkin, along with the 135th article, the 228th was also imputed, but he insists that drugs were thrown back to him.

The detainees were defended by the lawyers of the Memorial and Rus Sitting. "According to human rights activists, the signs of politically motivated and provoked criminal prosecution of civilian activists are seen in this case," the publication of "assistance to the detainees - St. Petersburg" said.

On February 9, Kazachenko was detained on Nevsky Prospekt during the Vesna campaign in support of the member of the Federal Council of Open Russia Anastasia Shevchenko, sent under house arrest in Rostov-on-Don. Oppositionists reached the roadway of the avenue with the poster "Open Russia instead of Putin." When detained, Kazachenko was beaten.

In the city OP-28, protocols were issued to the activist under Part 1 of Article 20.1 (petty hooliganism) and part 6.1 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (participation in an “unauthorized” event that interferes with the work of the infrastructure). The consideration of the protocols was scheduled just on February 19 in the Kuibyshevsky district court of St. Petersburg, but the meetings did not take place.
