The Human Rights Center "Memorial" recognized as political prisoners the head of the headquarters of the Democialization in Kostroma Andrei Pivovarov. This was reported on the website of the center.
“The initiation of a criminal case against Andrei Pivovarov is part of the campaign directed against the opposition democratic coalition and the Parnas Party part of the party,” the human rights activists believe. “Regional beatings with obvious violations refused to register the lists of candidates of this political force in the elections to the legislative meetings of the Novosibirsk and Magadan regions, in municipal elections in administrative elections in administrative elections The centers of the Republic of Udmurtia and in the Perm Territory, in other words, wherever Parnassus nominated his candidates. "
The Memorial Human Rights Processing Center considers Andrei Pivovarov’s immediate liberation from the custody and the termination of his criminal prosecution. We also consider it necessary to release Aleksey Nikonorov, who became a hostage of politically motivated criminal prosecution of Pivovarov, ”the statement said.
On Tuesday, the Kostroma Regional Council was to be considered the appeal of the defense of the arrest of Pivovarov. Pickets are held in front of the court’s building, according to the leader of the youth wing of Parnassus Mikhail Konev. “A lot of people came from Moscow and other cities, everyone in the picket participates in a picket,” he wrote.
However, the appeal meeting was postponed to Wednesday, since the office of the court lost documents. This was reported by the deputy chairman of Parnas Ilya Yashin.
Pivovarov and police captain Alexei Nikonorov, an employee of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Kostroma rural district,were detained by police operatives at about 23 hours on July 27, although in the documents of the investigation the time for the detention was indicated 4 in the morning of the 28th. As Yashin said, Pivovarov came to the department to check the data of citizens who put signatures to put forward the demo -analysis to the elections to the regional Duma. It was claimed that the policeman led the functionary to his office and asked to wait. Soon after, the operatives burst there and, having detained both, sent them to the regional head of the TFR.
“The criminal case against Pivovarov is obvious political and custom in nature,” Yashin emphasized.
Meanwhile, the regional department of the Investigative Committee claimed that "Nikonorov, using his official position contrary to the interests of the service, illegally provided the activist Parnas Andrei Pivovarov access to computer information protected by the law, namely to the integrated bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which contains the passport data of residents of the Kostroma region, which are intended exclusively for official use."
The investigation is carried out by the department of the regional headquarters of the Investigative Committee for the investigation of especially important cases. Part 1 of Article 286 of the Criminal Code (abuse of power), which provides for up to 4 years of the colony, Pivovarov - part 3 of article 272 (unlawful access to computer information, committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy or organized group), the sanction of which is up to 5 years.
July 29, the judge of the Sverdlovsk District Court of Kostroma Dmitry Balaev arrested Nikonorov and Pivovarov for two months ( 
On July 31, Yashin announced that Nikonorov admitted at a confrontation with a politician that he had stipulated him under the pressure of the operatives . The policeman explained that he was threatened by deprivation of liberty if he did not testify to Pivovarov. To the direct question of Pivovarov’s lawyers, whether the politician made the illegal actions imputed to him, Nikonorov answered negatively.
On August 6, Pivovarov was charged with incitement to exceed the official powers (part 4 of Article 33 of Article 286). At the same time, there is no examination in the case, so the protection will petition for its conduct. The arrest of the arrest of Pivovarov will take place on Monday August 11.
Meanwhile, late in the evening of August 8, the Kostroma Oblazbirk refused to register the Parnassus list . This was the last region in which the demo -abilities retained the chances of registering in the elections.
