The Kirovsky District Court of St. Petersburg extended the former activist of the now failed association "Russians" Dina Garina, who was arrested in the case of extremism, the term of detention in jails until February 29, 2016. It is reported by Rosbalt with reference to the lawyer of political prisoner Sergei Kostyuk.
As “public control” clarifies , the judge asked the FSB investigator several times to explain the need to extend the arrest of Garina, but he every time was difficult to substantiate his petition. Nevertheless, in the end, the request was satisfied.
It is also reported that the political prisoner is charged with another charge. Garin was arrested under Part 2 of Article 280 of the Criminal Code (public calls for extremism via the Internet). Now the activist is also imputed Article 282 (excitement of hatred or enmity).
Garina was a press secretary of the St. Petersburg branch of the "Russians". In last year's Russian march, she was headed by the column. The activist is also known as an eco- and city defender.
The case against Garina was opened for the publication of her on a personal VK page calls to go out on November 4 on an inconsistent Russian march. At the same time, the posts, recently before the arrest, published by the activist on the social network, are not her own texts, but reposts from other pages, in particular from the Russian March community.
One of the notes that Garina reposted from this community said : “It was high to understand that it is necessary to stop something to coordinate with this government. Since 2012, it became clear that a compromise with the existing regime is impossible and offensive for Russian people. Almost all organizations have been closed, and the initiative can come from ordinary people who are not represented by any organizations. The Organizing Committee of the RM-2015 is announced officially until the next year. Now. The people themselves must decide what to do on November 4. "
FSB operatives detained Garina on November 2. The activist was a search at home. The next day, the detainee was brought to the court as it was suppressed, but the judge postponed the meeting for 72 hours. The reason for this was not specified. On November 6, Garin was still arrested . On December 2, as the OVD-INFO transmitted , the arrest was extended.
Meanwhile, on the Russian march in St. Petersburg broke. As reported, on November 4, only one person came to the subway metro station.
