The Kostroma Regional Court left under the arrest of activist Parnas, the head of the regional election headquarters of the democratic coalition Andrei Pivovarov. This was reported on Twitter of the Democialization.
"The defense for an hour and a half presented evidence, but the prosecutor did not even say anything," the report says.
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 the deputy chairman of Parnassus, Ilya 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."

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.
On Tuesday, the Memorial human rights center recognized Pivovarov as political prisoner and demanded that Nikonorov and Nikonorov, "became a hostage to the politically motivated criminal prosecution of Pivovarov."
“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.
