The hungry “Moscow queue” left the police department

Larisa Drozdova, a member of the Moscow Waiting Order movement, who was detained near the city hall, where she is on an indefinite hunger strike, was released from the Tverskoy police station. A protocol on petty hooliganism was drawn up against her (Article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) for allegedly swearing obscenely.

Drozdova started a rally near the mayor's office on September 8, during the day she stood with a poster near the building, demanding to deal with the problems of those on the waiting list. In the evening, a uniformed officer and a man in civilian clothes approached her and asked her to go with them to the police station to ask her why she was holding the rally. At the Tverskoy police department, Drozdova answered the questions of the employees, but no protocol was drawn up against her and they brought her back. She spent the night sitting on a folding chair.

On the morning of September 9, a police officer approached her and said that Drozdova had questions about the explanations she had given on September 8. Drozdova agreed to go to the Tverskoy police department and give an explanation. After sitting there for two hours, she tried to find out what was going on, then she found out that a protocol had been drawn up against her.

Earlier, members of the Moscow Waiting Order movement held protests and a hunger strike near the building of the central executive committee of United Russia in Banny Lane, where they were repeatedly detained. On August 30, the courts began to make decisions on administrative cases filed against people on the waiting list. Drozdova received three fines of ten thousand rubles each.
