One of the leaders of the Perm communists was arrested

On December 13, 2005, Aleksei Bessonov, a teacher at the Agricultural Academy, one of the leaders of the local branch of the Communist Party, was arrested in his own house in Perm.

The Perm Regional Prosecutor's Office issued a sanction for his arrest. A. Bessonov, according to the official website of the Communist Party, "for several years they have been trying to impose a diagnosis of insanity, but so far no official confirmation of this diagnosis has been received . "

As follows from the message on the official website of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation with reference to the radio "Echo of Moscow" (Perm), Deputy Prosecutor of the Perm Territory Alexander Belykh said that the reason for Bessonov's arrest was the refusal to undergo an examination for sanity. A. Bessonov is going to be transferred to Moscow to undergo an examination at the Institute of Forensic Psychiatry. Serbian.

On December 15, 2005, A. Bessonov was in a pre-trial detention center, from where he tried to appeal his arrest.

The Communist Party website commented on what was happening as follows: "The decision on the examination of sanity, for which the suspect can be placed in the Serbsky Institute of Forensic Psychiatry (the legendary "sickles" of the dissident period) can only be connected with the need to resolve the issue of the sanity or insanity of the person who is accused of committing crimes. It is absolutely incomprehensible what dangerous crime Comrade Bessonov is accused of, in connection with which the prosecutor's office requires a compulsory forensic psychiatric examination? Is Bessonov the defendant? And just like that, even the prosecutor's office has no right to declare any person "suspicious" for having a psychiatric illness " .
