Udaltsov is hospitalized again

The coordinator of the Left Front Sergei Udaltsov was hospitalized in serious condition in the GKB No. 64. This was reported to her Twitter by his wife Anastasia Udaltsova. "In 64 GKB doctors are decent. I am almost sure that no one will follow the cops there and he will be provided with high -quality assistance," Udaltsova writes.

On May 18, the international human rights organization Amnesty International recognized the Russian opposition to Alexei Navalny and Sergei Udaltsov as prisoners of conscience. This was announced by the head of the Russian branch of Amnesty International Sergey Nikitin. “Based on the information that Amnesty International has against Navalny and Udaltsov, we understand that their actions fall under the definition of“ prisoners of conscience ” - these people tried to realize their right to freedom of demonstrations, rallies and processions, were detained, and later placed behind bars,” said Nikitin.

Alexey Navalny and Sergey Udaltsov, who were detained several times last week during festivities, received 15 days of administrative arrest. The maximum term for the arrest under the article on disobedience of the police also received three detainees in Bolotnaya Square, who refused to admit their guilt: Evgeny Frumkin, Nadir Fattyakhetdinov and Valery Kuzmenkov. The appeals in these administrative cases were rejected.

On April 3, Amnesty International recognized three participants in the Pussy Riot punk group prisoners of conscience and demanded their immediate and unconditional liberation. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich were prosecuted "for the expression of their political views and criticism of the Russian leadership and a number of church figures," the international amnesty said.

Pussy Riot participants were taken into custody in the case of Punk-Molebne in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. They face up to 7 years in prison under the article "Hooliganism". “Even if three arrested women took part in shares, such severe response measures of the Russian authorities (taking detention of accusations of such a serious criminal offense as hooliganism) are an unreasonably tough reaction to a peaceful one - although insulting for many people - an expression of political beliefs. Therefore, these three women can be considered prisoners of conscience,” the statement of an international human rights organization said.

"The charges against girls, in violation of the law, take into account the wider political context of the anti -Putin's performances of that time - and the anti -lrical, anti -Putin content of the songs of the activists, which in itself are unlocked", human rights activists from "international amnesty" noted.

The lawyer of Pussy Riot participants Nikolai Polozov welcomed the recognition of his clients of conscience, but noted that this does not guarantee their release. "Unfortunately, even such an authoritative organization can not affect the investigating authorities of the Russian Federation," Polozov said in an interview.

The International Amnesty recognized as prisoners of the conscience of convicts for espionage Igor Sutyagin, Alexander Nikitin and Grigory Pasko, as well as the Omsk human rights activist Yuri Shadrin. In May 2011, this status was received by Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev. The prisoners of conscience also recognized as administrative arrests by human rights activist Lev Ponomarev (2006), participants of the strategy-31 Eduard Limonov, Konstantin Kosyakin, Boris Nemtsov, Ilya Yashin and Kirill Manulin (January 2011), the coordinator of the Left Front Sergey Udaltsov (August 2011), the head of Rospil Alexei Navalny (December 2011 year).
