Administrative proceedings against a Saratov activist accused of organizing an unauthorized rally in memory of Boris Nemtsov have been terminated

Administrative proceedings have been terminated against Saratov activist Mikhail Lozenkov, who was charged with holding an uncoordinated rally. According to Svobodnye Novosti news agency , Lozenkov's representative received the relevant information from the police department. On March 1, the activist took part in a picket in memory of Boris Nemtsov, but later police officers came to Lozenkov's house and presented a protocol on an unsanctioned rally (Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation), which he allegedly organized. The activist denied his guilt. A similar protocol was presented to another picket participant, Andrei Kalashnikov, but the activist does not know anything about the termination of proceedings in his case.
