From such a ride

On the evening of December 7, Dmitry Kolalenko, an activist of the Movement in Defense of the Khimki Forest, was detained. He was carrying in his car a stack of copies of the newspaper “Khimki Administration - Resign!” He was stopped for allegedly driving in the oncoming lane. Kolalenko's comrades claim that the charges are fabricated.

Kolalenko was taken to the 2nd police department in the city of Khimki. They intend to take away his rights.

Previously, activists of the Movement for the Defense of the Khimki Forest and other concerned citizens who opposed the increase in housing and communal services tariffs and the desecration of the graves of soldiers who defended Moscow near the Leningradskoye Highway were regularly brought to this department. The movement in defense of the Khimki Forest recalls that one of its activists, Yaroslav Nikitenko, who had a severe cold, spent two days in this department in the cold and heard police brutally beating detainees at night.
