The European Mathematical Society made a statement in support of the President of the Moscow Mathematical Society Academician Viktor Vasiliev. He was detained by the Zamoskvoretsky court during the announcement of the sentence to the "swamp prisoners", and later fined 10 thousand rubles.
"The European Mathematical Society is deeply concerned about the use of police and court forces against peaceful protest. Society expresses deep support to Professor Vasiliev," the statement said. The authors emphasize that "some of his academic colleagues" testified in court of his innocence.
“I hope that the verdict to academician Vasiliev will be canceled and that the Russian government will respect the rights of all its citizens,” said David Vogan, president of the American mathematical society, in an open letter to the editor of the Russian edition, Troitsky Option -Hungry.
“The cooperation of scientists in Russia and the United States turned out to be vital for both countries. This cooperation has been preserved for many decades, despite the deep political disagreements, to the great good of science and people in both countries,” Wogan writes. “The use of police and courts against a peaceful action of protest is a direct threat to this long history of cooperation.”
On Wednesday, Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow fined Vasiliev for 10 thousand rubles . He was found guilty of an administrative offense under Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (violation of the established procedure for organizing or conducting a rally).
On February 21, Vasiliev was among 220 detainees at the court, where the penultimate meeting in the "Bolotnaya case of eight" took place ( 
The next day, the public control commission and the results of reforms in the field of science made an appeal . "We are outraged by the non -provoked detentions of more than 200 people on February 21 near the Zamoskvoretsky court of Moscow, including our colleagues, president of the Moscow Mathematical Society, academician V. A. Vasiliev, a researcher, a member of the commission, G. A. Kolyutsky and journalist S. B. Parkhomenko, who did a lot to combat abuse in Russian science, - we wrote scientists." We demand a fair judicial judicial The proceedings and punishment of the police who exceeded their powers and violated the law on the police. "
On February 21, the courts write out fines under Art. 20.2 Administrative Code. It is known about one acquittal - in the case of Alexei Makarov.
