In Chelyabinsk, the case of the organizer of the rally of memory of Nemtsov was terminated

The justice of the judicial section No. 6 of the Central District of Chelyabinsk, on May 18, terminated the case against the organizer of the rally of memory of Boris Nemtsov Vyacheslav Kislitsin due to the lack of an offense. This was reported by the International Human Rights Group "Agora" with reference to the lawyer Kislitsin Andrei Lepikhin.

Vyacheslav Kislitsin was the organizer of a rally of memory of Boris Nemtsov, held in Chelyabinsk on February 27, 2016. Three days before the event, the head of the local Center for Combating Extremism sent a letter to the prosecutor of Chelyabinsk, where he stated that the rally was held “in order to attract public attention to the problems of the upcoming crisis” and that “according to the available information during the rally, the participants plan to use posters with the text of the prosecution of representatives of state power committing a particularly serious crime”.

Having received the indicated letter, representatives of the prosecutor's office called Kislitsin before the rally to the prosecutor's office to make a warning. However, the civilian activist refused to go, after which he was accused of non -fulfilling the legal requirements of the prosecutor (Article 17.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). “We believe that the Kislitsin Center“ E ”consistently pursues for political reasons. Last year they wanted to attract. Unsuccessfully. Now, again, the prosecutor’s demand was brought by employees of the ED center, they wanted to forcefully take him to the prosecutor to sign the warning. He refused to go with them. In the meantime, they presented him with a request for a turnout, the time to be already missed. Despite this, the prosecutor again later tried to call him a letter, but by mail it came and was awarded again later than the deadline. However, they still wanted to bring him to administrative responsibility and thus compromise for the future, to declare that he is a violator of laws and a person held administratively responsible, ”said Andrei Lepakhin lawyer.

On the eve of the rally of the memory of Nemtsov, held on February 27, there was information that Kislitsin was beaten .
