Judge of the Tver District Court of Moscow Dmitry Gordeev arrested the leader of the Lev Ponomarev movement movement for 25 days for the repost of the publication on the preparation of the gathering "in defense of the new generation", which took place on October 28. It is reported by "Mediazona".

The 77-year-old Ponomarev was announced guilty of part 8 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (repeated violation of public events).

The public defender of the involved Irina Yatsenko pointed out that Ponomarev was not the author of the text - he reposted the note prepared by the editors of the Echo of Moscow website. The defense also demanded that Colonel Oleg Gurov, notifying Ponomarev’s administrative case, have violations in the metropolitan of the head of the metropolitan OP, Krasnoselsky. Gordeev rejected the petition, but the discharge, claimed by the defense, did not accept.

Amnesty International called on the Russian authorities to immediately free Ponomarev.

The action "In defense of the new generation" was initiated by families arrested in the affairs of the "Network" and "New Greatness". Ponomarev helped her preparation. The Moscow City Hall illegally refused to coordinate the procession through Lubyanskaya Square, where the headquarters of the FSB is located, so it was decided to hold the action in the form of a gathering on Lubyanka. According to "Mediazons", the police detained 18 of its participants. The gathering took place in St. Petersburg on Malaya Sadovaya Street; More than 40 people were captured there.

The protocol on the calls for an inconsistent campaign, the security forces from OP Krasnoselsky drew up on Ponomarev more than a month later - December 2.

Meanwhile, the next day, the leader of the SPF filed a notification to the Moscow City Hall about the holding of a new protest event - "March for the world against violence." Among its other organizers are the system liberal Leonid Gozman and former State Duma deputy Gennady Gudkov. The march is scheduled for December 16.

"This action should be a civil society’s response to the creeping power of power by security forces, to the use of torture and provocations, to tightening political repressions aimed primarily against politically active youth," the announcement of the campaign on the SPF website says.

Ponomarev’s movement connected the arrest of his leader in particular with the preparation of this march.
