The trial of the activist detained on Friday in Teply Stan was postponed

The trial of Alexander Stepanov, who was forcibly taken to court in the morning by the police, will take place on October 27. Alla Frolova reported this on the OVD-Info hotline.

Today, three witnesses were interrogated in court, and the interrogation of the police is planned for the 27th.
