The verdict for someone else's war was upheld
Hello! In the field of political persecution, the news is usually, unfortunately, bad or very bad. On the outgoing week , a sentence came into force in one of the terrible and absurd cases - the case of Ukrainians Nikolai Karpyuk and Stanislav Klykh, accused of participating in the first Chechen war on the side of the militants. Both claim that in Chechnya they were not before the court began in their case. Despite the numerous violations identified in the collection of evidence, despite the fact that the accused gave conference under cruel torture, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation upheld the decision of the Supreme Court of Chechnya - twenty -two and a half years of Karpyuk, twenty years in Klyu, in a colony of strict regime.
Criminal persecution
Nevertheless, there are good news here-for example, when someone is released. On October 27, Alexei Gaskarov left the colony in the Tula region, who completely served the deadline for the “swamp business”. But his “accomplices”, the persecution of which, it would seem, should have ended for a long time, everyone would not leave alone: the operatives came home to Alexei Polikhovich, Andrei Barabanov and Vladimir Akimenkov in order to “prevent extremist and terrorist crimes”.
The Rostov journalist and blogger Sergei Reznik, who received about three years of the colony on doubtful accusations of insulting representatives of the authorities and false denunciations, alsoissued to freedom.
Good news from the European Human Rights Court continue to come. This time he created a precedent, awarding the compensation of the mother of the deceased artist, a participant in the war group Leonid Nikolaev for more than three months spent by him in the pre-trial detention center for the Palace Revolution campaign. Meanwhile, meanwhile, they continue to recognize the verdicts for political affairs - artist Peter Pavlensky for the arson of the FSB door (fine), the opposition policy Leonid Volkov for “obstructing the work of a journalist” (fine), Ukrainian Andrei Kolomiytsa on charges of assassination of the murder of Berkut fighters during the Maidan in Kiev and the storage of drugs (ten years of colony of maximum security).
The Imam of the Salafi mosque in Makhachkala Magomednabi Magomedovwas sentenced to five years in the age of five. He was found guilty of calling for terrorism and exciting hatred for a preaching in which he spoke about the need to seek the protection of the rights of the Salafis in peaceful ways.
Ildar Dadin, convicted of “repeated violations” at public events , was transferred to strict conditions of detention in the colony after several premises in a schizo. The reason - turned to the employees to "you".
And the Yekaterinburg blogger Ruslan Sokolovsky, accused of insulting the feelings of believers and exciting religious hatred, was transferred from under house arrest back to the pre-trial detention center for coming to his house on his birthday.
Non -free assembly
Good news is also possible here: in Beslanthey canceled the administrative punishment of one of the women, during the Panichids at the school who died at the school in 2004, demonstrated T -shirts with accusations against Putin.
In Moscow, one of the most “hot spots” of street protest remains a warm camp where local residents opposed the cutting of the park: they are delayed, they are delivered to the court by force , they are attacked by unknown masked and helmets , theyare broken by cars .
Sometimes it seems that we were transferred a few years ago. Activists of “Other Russia”, who have recently much less often than earlier, become Heroes of the ATD-Info News, detained the US Ambassador in Moscow and kept the night in the police department. The court released them, but the police tried to deliver back to the police department . In addition, another activist of an unregistered party was detained in court . In the end, everyone was released.
In Crimea, participants in the rally with the Crimean Tatar flags were fined . This story lasted several months: at first the court closed their case, considering that there was no composition of the offense in it, but the police appealed this decision and eventually achieved its own.
In Moscow, the Russian March did not agree on several routes, in St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk the nationalists were not allowed to hold a procession in the city center. In Samara, they refused to conduct a rally in the memory of victims of political repression, in Kirov they did not allow three LGBTs. In the city of Marx (Saratov Region), they prevented the picket against the reassignment of the head of the district administration: it came to the fact that police officers with documents on the illegality of the picket came to the organizer.
In St. Petersburg, they actively interfered with the march against hatred: they sent from the center to the village on the outskirts , delayed the organizer , blocked pages in social networks . As a result, on the march itself, October 29, the police detained two participants who held flags in their hands - Ukrainian and Crimean Tatars.
The Russian government answered questions from the ECHR about the legality of the detention of people in Moscow on December 5, 2011 after a rally dedicated to the results of the parliamentary elections. The response to the complaint of Muscovite Ilya Vorontsov states that he was detained for preventing the movement of transport and refused to fulfill the demand of the policeman to leave the roadway. To the question of the ECHR about why, when considering administrative offenses, the court performs the function of the prosecution, the government replied that with insignificant offenses and the low nature of the public danger, this order of things is quite normal.
