In the northeastern metropolitan district of Losinoostrovsky, an attack was attacked on a tent of defenders of the Park of the Park, who are on duty in order to prevent illegal construction of the Orthodox Church there. This was reported in the VK community "For the Park of the Peat!".
The incident occurred at 23:40 on Tuesday. Three criminals in masks shouting "kill for the temple!" They attacked a tent, where at that time there were two activists. One of the women was struck by a strong blow to the leg, from which she had a huge bruise.
5-10 minutes before the attack from the tent, two eco-defenders-male left. In this regard, activists suggest that the attackers watched the tent, waiting for the woman to remain alone.
After the attack, the criminals ran away. At the same time, one of them, running around the road, was shot down by a passing car, but managed to rise and, lame, hide.
The affected activist nevertheless previously recognized one of the attackers.
"We know that the DSS (the" Forty Sorokov "movement, which advocates the construction of the church in the peat. - Ed.) And the false Orthodox can act only by meanness - stepping on their feet in the dark, shoot on the camera that they throw at them," the eco -defenders say. - but we did not expect. "
Activists contacted comrades, and about 25 people immediately came to the park. Meanwhile, the police did not respond to multiple calls to the defenders of the park. Only 20 minutes after the driver’s call, who shot down one of the attackers, the traffic police inspector, accompanied by employees of OP Losinoostrovsky, arrived at the place. At the same time, the police refused to accept a statement about the crime from the activists, explaining that, like the traffic cops, they appeared at the scene of an accident.
This is the second attack on the tent of the defenders of the peat. During the first attack, the attackers stole the flags of activists and broke the flagpole.
Defenders of the park note that the attacks began immediately after the meeting with the State Duma deputy from the LDPR Mikhail Degtyarev immediately in the park on January 16. During the meeting, the leader of the forty forty Andrei Kormukhin, who called for a tent of the park defenders, performed. Immediately after the meeting, supporters of Kormukhin promised to “kill” and “wet” eco -activists.
The police detained several people from among those who spokes with threats, but did not take any actions against them, despite the fact that activists have submitted applications. Kormukhin himself was not detained.
In connection with the last incident, activists demand that the police again, as it was before, put a round -the -clock post in the park, and immediately eliminate the illegal construction in accordance with the instruction of the city technical inspection from the prefecture of the North -East District of Moscow. Also, eco -defenders insist on holding the deputy Degtyarev and those participants in the meeting with him who called for violence.
Protests against the construction of the church in Torfyanka began on June 18, 2015. In order to prevent the passage of equipment to the site fenced for construction, the locals defeated the tent camp. On June 25, riot police dismantled the protesters' tents and detained 25 defenders of the park , but later everyone was released without drawing up protocols.
On the same day, the prefect of the North-Eastern District Valery Vinogradov ordered to stop the construction before the end of the trial. Patriarch Kirill also called for the refusal of confrontation in the peat and peaceful settlement of all the contradictions.
On July 9, a rally against the construction of the Church was held in Torfyanka. The action raised about 500 people. They adopted a resolution in which they expressed distrust of the Moscow authorities.
Public hearings on the construction of the temple in Torfyanka were carried out with serious violations. The district court recognized the results of the hearings, but the Moscow City Court canceled this decision and sent a lawsuit filed by public activists to revise. In the process of preparing for the process, it was found that another project was made to public hearings, different from the Moscow government mentioned in the decree. Thus, it turned out that construction is absolutely illegal. Social activists recalled the lawsuit and demanded that the prosecutor's office ban the construction. A statement was sent to the Internal Affairs Directorate in the North-Eastern District with a request to institute criminal proceedings on the fact of forgery of documents of public hearings.
On August 14, the tent camp of the eco -defenders was re -dispersed by the police with the participation of riot police. The security forces stated that activists spoil the lawn and green spaces. Meanwhile, supporters of the construction of the Church, guarding the construction site, reported that the park was preparing for the holiday.
On August 19, supporters of the construction held in a peat, the celebration of the apple rescue. Before the start of the celebration, the gathered in chorus sang the prayer "Heavenly King". The police, present on the spot, regarded this as a public prayer and fined the community for 10 thousand rubles .
Finally, on October 8, the Urban Planning and Earth Commission of Moscow canceled the decision on the construction of the church in Torfyanka. The construction site in the park was ordered to dismantle by November 1. Nevertheless, this has not yet been done.
