This was reported by the ATS -INFO with reference to one of the detainees - the co -chair of the regional branch of the "Memorial" Anna Pastukhova.

Activists were seized on the way back from the pickets, already quite far from the consulate of Ukraine, where the action took place. The police said that a number of demonstrators resemble certain maniacs whose external data are indicated in the orientation. At the same time, Pastukhov was initially assured that there were no people with her appearance in orientation, however, when she expressed his intention to accompany their comrades to the department, the police detained her, explaining that there was also orientation on her.

Meanwhile, civil activist Elena Shukaeva specified on her Facebook page that she was seized when they, walking along the street, sang the song "Hope".

All detainees were delivered to the city OP-5. There, no longer recalling any orientations, they began to draw up protocols under Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (violation of the procedure for holding a public event).

Activist Oleg Kraev walked from a picket with a bicycle, which, when the opposition was put in a police car, remained on the street. Later, the detainee, accompanied by a policeman, went in search of a bicycle. As a result, the bicycle was found, and Kraev returned with him to the department.

Later, 7 out of 9 activists, including Kraev, were released . Meanwhile, Pastukhov and another participant in the pickets - Sergey Zykov - were detained for 48 hours . Both were accused of organizing an inconsistent public event .

At the same time, earlier, police officers used force to take the mobile phone to Zykov. On this fact, he wrote a complaint to the prosecutor's office.

The brightest was the group picket on Lubyanka, at the FSB building, carried out without notice. 4 out of 6 participants in the action, including faith Lavreshin, were detained; 2 more oppositionists managed to hide. Participants in the other two metropolitan shares were also detained.
