Nizhny Tagil court fines activist for anti-corruption single picket

On April 5, the Leninsky District Court of Nizhny Tagil found Andrei Antropov guilty of non-compliance with the procedure for holding a rally (part 5 of article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) and fined him 10,000 rubles. Antropov was detained on March 26 during an uncoordinated rally near the Sovremennik KDK in Nizhny Tagil. About this writes AI "Mezhdu Rows".

Initially, Antropov was accused of violating the order of a single picket, allegedly there were participants in an uncoordinated rally next to him, as the police report says.

Activist Andrei Antropov does not agree with the court's decision. On March 26, he held a series of pickets and had nothing to do with the participants of the uncoordinated rally on the square, he kept a proper distance from them, did not move, did not shout out slogans.
