Solidarity activist Dmitry Monakhov, detained in the morning on Manezhnaya Square, was arrested for 15 days under Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (resisting a lawful demand of a police officer). This was reported by Emil Terekhin, who was admitted to the trial as a defense attorney, and who had previously been detained by bailiffs while drawing up a power of attorney from Monakhov.
