The appeals of Anastasia Deineko and Denis Dubrov were dismissed by Judge Irina Khudyakova. The complaints of Svetlana Sviderska and Anastasia Shevchenko were considered by Judge Dmitry Monmar. Sviderskaya asked to terminate the proceedings due to the absence of corpus delicti, since in the event of an event held in a specially designated place, filing a notification is not required. “I argue that the police are interested in detaining us, because the recipient of the fine on the receipt is the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Rostov Region,” Sviderskaya said. A minute later, the judge issued a negative decision on the complaint. “A paradoxical situation has arisen when my rights to hold peaceful events are violated by the police with the consent of the courts,” Shevchenko said in court. The judge asked if there was another event in the square. Shevchenko replied that after the start of the picket, activists of the National Liberation Movement appeared on the square with posters and flags. “You see, your action was called against the dictatorship, and they, on the contrary, are for the president,” the judge noted and the decision regarding Shevchenko remained unchanged. Activists intend to appeal the decision of the Rostov Regional Court to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.
