The organizers of the anti-war rally in Moscow were forced to file nine complaints

On November 29, one of the organizers of the anti-war rally in Moscow, Sergei Davidis, wrote on Facebook that he had been forced to write and file nine complaints in various ways about the refusal to approve the holding of an anti-war rally in Moscow. He hoped to have his applications considered before the scheduled date for the rally, as provided by Russian law on freedom of assembly.

The rally was planned to be held on November 20, but the Moscow authorities stated that preparatory measures were already being taken in the city and, on this basis, refused to agree on the procession.

First, the organizer “through the websites of departments wrote statements to the Commissioner for Human Rights (1), to the Moscow Prosecutor’s Office (2) and to the Investigative Committee (3), and physically submitted a paper administrative claim to the Tverskoy Court (4).” When it became clear that there were less and less chances for consideration of the application to the court before the day of the event, Davidis wrote a statement personally to the chairman of the Tver Court, Solopova (5). After that, he filed another, official application to speed up the consideration of the case (6).

Today, November 29, Sergey Davidis “through the website of the Moscow City Court sent a complaint to the Deputy Chairman of the Moscow City Court both against Judge Molitvina (7), to whom the case was submitted for consideration, and against the Chairman of the Court Solopova (8), and also sent a complaint against them to the Qualification Collegium by mail judges of Moscow (9). Since there was no response to the previous statement about the crime against V. Oleinik, filed through the website, during the period for considering the application (10 days), I already sent such a statement by mail again to the head of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Moscow.
