"Samobrand tablecloth" against freedom of assembly

On April 8, during single pickets at the dining room “Samobravka tablecloth” in Kirov, anarchists were detained from the Narodnaya Self-Defense movement. The reason was the complaint of the hosts of the institution.

The reason for the pickets at the dining room, according to the anarchists, was that more than five canteen workers were forced to quit under pressure from authorities and security services and dismissal: “The dining room administration refers to the crisis and the need to reduce the staff, but they do not want to reduce personnel with the payment of compensation.”

One of the employees of the dining room, Tatyana, turned to the "People's Self -Defense". “To talk with the authorities for activists was a difficult task. The director’s office is in the administrative building, for the passing one, it was not easy to get there, ”they describe the development of the situation. -After a long wait, we still managed to talk with the director Dmitry Bronnikov, who was personally present at the pressure on employees and with threats to them. But in a conversation with us, the director denied his involvement in this and stated that Tatyana could continue to work here, no one forces her for anything. Some time after this conversation, Tatyana is forced to write explanatory about the hair found in the salad. Such an unpleasant surprise came across a white collar from an administrative building. And the hair itself is not even close to Tatyana's hair. ”

On April 8, Narodnaya Self-Defense organized single pickets at the entrance to the “pupil-samobravka”, three participants of which were shortly detained by the police.

“A man came out of the administrative corps and advised us to prepare, they say, he had already called the police,” activist Alexander Chernov told the OVD-info. - Literally after 5-10 minutes we see flashing lights of a police car, but far away from the event. When we went there, the traffic police machine had already taken away three of our comrades, who walked with one leaflet in their hands and had a few more with them. They were taken to the Pervomaisky department, rewritten and identified. Then they ordered to wait for the district police officer, although no charges were charged. Different representatives of the police spoke of completely different offenses.

At first, it was about simply an administrative offense without clarifying which one, about slander, then they began to make claims that circulation, printing house, etc. were not indicated on the leaflets, although these are requirements for agitation during the election campaign. In general, they themselves did not know why they detained people and what to do with them. After the arrival of the long-expected district police officers, the detainees refused to give explanations in accordance with the 51st article, and they were released. ”

According to Chernova, the detention itself was explained by the fact that "the calling the police left his data and he needs to give an answer." In her opinion, in such a conflict, the police are easier and more understandable to take the side of the owners of the institution.
