Where are your fines

On February 8, lawyer Vitaliy Serukanov visited the Cheremushkinsky District Court of Moscow, where administrative affairs of the inhabitants of the warm camp were considered, detained after a meeting with the deputy.

I was yesterday in the Cheremushkinsky District Court, where from 10 in the morning considerations on administrative cases regarding the defenders of the warm camp, detained as a result of provocations near the place of illegal development. From the ATD-Info portal, information was received that the guys have no lawyer, the situation for them was new, and it would be great to help them with professional advice, write some kind of petitions, prepare for appeals.

See in court once again confirmed the thesis how much the court officers can change (to the bad side) when it comes to cases having a “public” background. The secretaries immediately have some contemptuous arrogance and fearlessness before the threat of possible complaints, and judges begin to burn with the lack of desire to chat. Although we are faced with them, as previously happened, according to the usual “administrative”, the attitude would be different. These are the "features".

The detainees were not brought for a long time, they talked with their friends, also the defenders of the warm camp. People have a complete misunderstanding of how this is possible, what the government achieves, why the police knowingly take the side of the developer and ignores the provocateurs, does not understand at all whom to detain.

I see relatives in the corridor. Here someone is waiting for the mother, worried. Someone came with his father. In court, almost everything is the first time. Policy is not particularly interested in, but they already understand everything, life has taught how much life in recent days.

The detainees are brought about 12 days. A boorish aunt from the ATS, assigned to “accompany” them endlessly, that they say “do not fuss, right now you will be given a fine, 1-2 thousand, and go to work.” I ask, they let them get acquainted with the materials, the aunt begins to confidently interrupt "everything gave." It turned out not to be given. The detainees did not really see the materials of the case, they did not even explain the article, and people spent almost 2 days in the police department.

The detained "defenders of the warm camp" - ordinary city guys, love their area, many live in it all their lives, know each other from school. I easily imagine myself and my friends in their place. They have no political engagement, just a sense of justice, which violated with this development.

The police also appeared, they came to testify. People immediately said that one was not there at all. It turned out to be a local district police officer. As a result, a couple of police officers “forgot” in their testimony about provocateurs, but did not “forget” about what was not, but concerned the defenders. I caught them in the corridor, I ask "what they forgot to say about the provocateurs, and just why they were not detained there in the same place." In response, they said the conspiratorially.

There is nothing to write about the court. As they managed, prepared petitions, told about the article and the rights. The first decision by Judge Bodnar “issued” 2 hours, periodically running to the corridor. The result, all except one received arrests, already from 7 days ...

I write an appeal for one guy, I will file tomorrow.

Already at the exit from the building I met the same throat aunt from the ATS. I ask, well, "where are your fines, the guys were closed." Aunt blushed, spread her hands and squeezed out with a sad sigh "Well, what am I, what, what ..."
