The actor-activist Pyotr Pavlensky, over whom on Tuesday, May 17, in Moscow, the court should be completed in the case of a ramp with a fabric of tires on a small stable bridge in St. Petersburg, was beaten in a transit from the Moscow City Court in the Medvedkovo pre-trial detention center. The convoy police broke his rib and killed his knee, say the associate and civil wife of the artist Oksana Shalygin and his lawyer Dmitry Dinze.
"At the moment, Peter has a knee -off, a crack in the rib, internal hematomas from the beatings," the Shalygina said in a statement, which Pussy Riot, human rights activist Maria Alekhina posted on her Facebook page. According to Shalygina, the beating occurred when Pavlensky was transferred with transit through the building of the Moscow City Court. Shalygina learned about this by chance from Pavlensky himself, when he gave her a speech for the award ceremony of Vaclav Gavel (according to Novaya Gazeta , Pavlensky in May nominated for this prize by the Human Rights Foundation International Human Rights for Creative Promest shares).
A photograph of Pavlensky’s letter was attached to the post, which states: “When I write these lines, my knee is interrupted, a crack in the rib and internal hematomas. Each breath is given with pain. These are the usual consequences of the usual visit of the escort of the Moscow City Court. For more than six months I am in prison. I see every day what police supervision is.”
“The usual practice of transit and escort prisoners in the Moscow City Court - mandatory beating with batons, torture by a stguker, mockery of the subwing. Even if the prisoner passes through this court in transit,” adds Shalygin. “I’m talking about Peter only in the context of the usual, everyday practice of the convoy with prisoners and concluded so that this topic becomes visible, and be visible and be visible, and be visible and be visible, and be visible and be visible, and be visible Emergency measures have been taken. "
"The number of the badge of the beast, garbage, which beats with particular cruelty and is mocking the uniform - N007666," says the artist’s civil wife.
The lawyer of Pavlensky Dmitry Dinze confirmed the fact of being beaten by the artist, but stated that his client did not want to get involved in "bureaucratic procedures with the cops." The defense plans to send the administration of the pre -trial detention center a request to conduct a medical examination of the prisoner and, possibly, apply to the Investigative Committee.
“Dinze’s new newspaper said that Pavlensky injuries were inflicted during a transit from the court in the Medvedkovo pre -trial detention center. According to the lawyer, the arrested are collected in several stages: "Avtozak is passing, including through the Moscow City Court. In the Moscow City Court, this is not the first time of beating. And there was some kind of verbal skirmish with convoy."
Because of what the skirmish happened, Pavlensky did not specify. “One of the police officers - escort, attacked Pavlensky and caused him bodily harm,” added Dinze. The attackers, he said, "maybe there were several."
The lawyer confirmed that the artist has an internal hematoma on his stomach, the knee was damaged and "there is a suspicion that the rib has been broken."
The Moscow City Court said he was not responsible for the actions of the convoy
The press secretary of the Moscow City Court Ulyana Solopova told RIA Novosti that the court was not responsible for the possible beating of Pavlensky.
“A special convoy regiment is engaged in escorting - methods of delivery, what means they use - all on their responsibility,” she explained.
The spokeswoman added that all the interaction between the court and the convoy regiment comes down to the fact that the judges report which person involved in the case and what time it is necessary to deliver to the meeting.
Pavlensky’s lawyer promised to send a request to Glavk in order to install an employee by the icon number. “When all the materials are collected, we will make some kind of decision on this issue,” said Dmitry Dinze.
On Tuesday, May 17, in the Preobrazhensky District Court of Moscow, the trial in the case of the Freedom Promotion on the Small Stable Bridge should be completed. On May 16, the prosecutor Artem Lytaev asked the court to admit Pavlensky guilty of vandalism and sentenced to two years in prison, but to be released from punishment due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. The defense demanded to resume the stage of the judicial investigation and interrogate the linguist specialist Anatoly Baranov, but the court refused this petition.
On February 23, 2014, the artist and four of his comrades on the small stable bridge opposite the Temple of the Savior-on-bloods built a semblance of barricades from the tires and set them on fire, as at the same time the activists on the Maidan in the center of Kyiv did. The participants in the action launched two flags - black and yellow and state Ukrainian, waving them under the blows on a sheet of iron, imitating the sounds of drum fighting. They explained that burning tires, roar and flags were an impromptu song of liberation and revolution.
As the artist himself explained, he did it in the support of the Maidan in Ukraine. After that, a criminal case was opened against him under Art. 214 of the Criminal Code ("vandalism").
Pavlensky is under arrest in another case. He was detained on the night of November 9, 2015 after he doused with gasoline and set fire to the front door of the FSB building on Lubyanka. The artist explained that in this way he opposed the punishment of Ukrainian director Oleg Sentsov and Alexander Kolchenko, convicted of charges of terrorism. The day after this trick, the Tagansky court of Moscow authorized the conclusion of the defendant in custody. Since then, the arrest has repeatedly extended.
