The court in Murmansk arrested three more protests on January 23 and 31. They were appointed arrests from 4 to 8 days for organizing an illegal event. This was reported by the United press service of the courts of the region.
Two of the convicts did not admit guilt. One stated that he did not organize and did not participate in the action on January 23. According to him, he just just waved his hands to a group of moving people. Another man who did not admit the guilt explained to the court that he was interested in what was happening in the center of Murmansk, but did not know that he was "doing something antisocial."
The third convict pleaded guilty partially. According to him, he came to the action on January 31 to "express his civic position" as an ordinary participant. He was not the organizer, did not hold posters in his hands, but shouted slogans with other participants.
The day before, it became known that in Murmansk minors are summoned for interrogations in the case of the involvement of adolescents in protests. In the regional SK, they refute the initiation of a criminal case.
