"War": to Moscow, to Moscow!

At exactly two o’clock in the afternoon, the activist of the War of the War Leonid Nikolaev appeared at Nevsky Prospekt, house 84/86 in the 199th Judicial Set of 199, where the justice of the peace was supposed to consider two cases of administrative violation at once-under the articles “Participation in an unauthorized action” and “Improving the legal order of a police officer”. On April 1, Leonid Nikolaev filed a motion to transfer these cases at the place of residence in Moscow; He filed the same petition now.

“I do not think that this proceedings can complicate the course of the investigation in the criminal case under the article“ Extremism ”, which was instructed to Nikolaev,” says his lawyer Dmitry Dinze . - We brought two witnesses who are ready to show that Leonid did not show any resistance and did not participate in an unauthorized rally. And let them prove the opposite: these are their problems. Let the police come to Moscow and tell how everything was really ...

After the request was satisfied, witnesses who came to court and journalists noticed two people in civilian clothes, who were interested in the guards, whether Nikolaev was here. Everyone had the feeling that these people were preparing Nikolaev to detain. Correspondents of different publications crowded at the entrance with cameras and cameras, preparing to shoot what was happening. Seeing this, two in civilian clothes came out of the building, but they moved nearby, so Nikolaev and the witnesses were considered the best to just escape and even confuse traces so as not to be detained.

- Today is witnesses, and tomorrow they can be accused. The reasons are very different-maybe they wanted to find out where the other participants in the War art group are located-Oleg Vorotnikov, his wife Natalia Sokol (Goat). They say that there is a verification material with respect to the goat-she allegedly scratched one of the police officers. Although even being on the street, I heard the employees of the 78th police department inadequately. But the goat herself had already sent some data about what was happening in the 78th department, and we have witnesses who refute the accusations against her, ”says Dmitry Dinze.

Perhaps, already at the end of this week, a complaint about the actions of employees of the 78th police department will receive from Natalia Sokol itself to the prosecutor’s office. By the way, St. Petersburg human rights activists have long taken this department: according to their data, this is not the first time that they are brutally treated by the detainees. Dmitry Dinze himself sent a complaint to the Commissioner for Human Rights Vladimir Lukin-that employees of the 78th department did not allow him as a lawyer.
