The builder of the cosmodrome, who promised to organize a protest, was arrested for five days

Anton Tyurishev, the builder of the Vostochny cosmodrome, was arrested for five days. about this writes Novaya Gazeta , to which Tyurishev himself sent an SMS. According to his friend Dmitry Karpan, who is quoted by the publication, Tyurishev was detained on the evening of April 13. “It seems like they were invited just for a conversation, but then a protocol was drawn up, it seems that he was taken to court for using obscene language in a public place,” Karpan said. This may mean that Tyurishev was arrested for disorderly conduct. According to Karpan, the newspaper adds that Tyurishev managed to tell him that the protocol was rewritten four times.

Now Tyurishev is in one of the detention centers in Ussuriysk and intends to go on a hunger strike.

In April 2015, Tyurishev and his colleagues communicated with Putin via a “direct line”, complaining that they were not being paid salaries. Putin promised to sort it out. The salary has not been paid so far, Novaya points out. In March 2016, Kommersant reported , according to Tyurishev, that workers at the bankrupt Pacific Bridge Company that built the Vostochny cosmodrome were planning to organize mass protests to mark the anniversary of their conversation with Putin. In connection with this publication, Tyurishev was summoned to the police, where they read him the law on rallies, Novaya Gazeta writes.
