Organizer of rally against high tariffs summoned to court for poster

The organizer of the rally in Olonets (Karelia) against high heating tariffs was summoned to court in the case of violation of the established procedure for holding the event (part 1 of article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). According to the 7×7 online publication, the reason for summoning Igor Nekin to court was that one of the participants in the rally on March 20 was holding a poster calling for the resignation of Governor Alexander Khudilainen, which, according to the police, “has nothing to do with purpose of the event." Meanwhile, during the rally, a resolution was adopted, in one of the points of which it was said that there was no confidence in the government of Karelia and personally in Khudilainen.

A court hearing has been scheduled for March 30.
