On March 31, in Moscow, a traditional action in defense of freedom of assembly will be held on the Triumphal Square. The Moscow prosecutor's office, as usual, issued a warning "on the inadmissibility of violation of the law." The action was not agreed on the grounds that its applicants were more than two times brought to administrative responsibility - this norm of the new law on rallies Eduard Limonov tried to challenge in the Constitutional Court.
Strategy-31 shares will be held in other cities. In St. Petersburg, the defenders of the 31st articles of the Constitution go to the square near the Gostiny Dvor, in Nizhny Novgorod - to the Square of Freedom. The Nizhny Novgorod Organizing Committee of the Strategy-31 stopped submitting notifications on the holding of shares on the 31st last summer last year, after the adoption of the act in defense of the meetings. In addition, Nizhny Novgorod activists said that the notification procedure lost any meaning, since after the adoption of a new law on rallies and local law on public events, the city administration refuses to agree on any events in suitable places. “Thus, there is a systematic violation of the freedom of assembly, and citizens' attempts to realize their constitutional right to gather peacefully to express opinions are suppressed using gross force,” says the Nizhny Novgorod organizing committee.
The beginning of all shares - at 18:00.
