In Samara, the court closed the administrative case for March 26 against the activist

Trials of participants in anti-corruption actions on March 26 continue throughout the country.

In Samara, the regional court granted the appeal of activist Alexander Savinykh and ordered that the administrative proceedings in his case be terminated. this Activist Yekaterina Gerasimova reports on her Facebook page.

In relation to the Savins, a protocol was drawn up under Part 6.1 of Art. 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (participation in an uncoordinated public event that interfered with the movement of citizens and their access to social facilities and housing).

In Vladimir, on the contrary, the organizer of the action was fined 5,000 rubles under Part 1 of Art. 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (violation of the procedure for holding a public event by the organizer), reports ZebraTV . According to the police, Aleksey Yefremov organized a rally on March 26 in the city's Hyde Park and "failed to ensure compliance with the maximum occupancy limit established by regional legislation at the venue of the public rally, allowing the presence of more than 100 people at the rally."

The activist himself claims that he was not the organizer of the event in Hyde Park - he applied for a rally elsewhere, and the application was rejected by the administration without offering alternative options. That is, the action in Hyde Park is a completely different action, and being there, Efremov did not act as an organizer:

I was the organizer of another event: I applied for a mass event on Theater Square on March 26th. If the authorities answered that we should go to Hyde Park, then I would have nowhere to go, and I would be the organizer, I would wear a badge. Submitting a notice to the park is no longer possible, because you don’t know how many people will come there. At the same time, regional legislation limits the number of participants to 100 people, and according to the federal norm, the site must accommodate at least 100 people. There is a legal conflict

The amount of the fine to Efremov turned out to be less than 10 thousand rubles - the minimum under this article of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

And in Pskov, the prosecutor's office, at the request of deputy Lev Shlosberg, checked the refusal of local authorities to agree on a local action on March 26 and recognized this refusal as inconsistent with the norms of the law, reports ZakS.Ru . The administration refused the applicants, referring to the fact that another event had already been announced in the place where the anti-corruption action was planned. At the same time, officials also forgot to offer an alternative.

UPD.

In addition, on May 12, the Smolninsky District Court of St. Petersburg terminated the administrative proceedings against the coordinator of the Vesna movement, Konstantin Pokhilchuk, reports ZakS.Ru . The activist was detained on March 26 at Vosstaniya Square, the police drew up a protocol against him under Part 5 of Art. 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (violation by a participant of the procedure for holding a public event). However, Pokhilchuk is a member of the precinct election commission with the right to vote, and in order to impose an administrative penalty on him, the consent of the prosecutor of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation is required - and the prosecutor of St. Petersburg refused the police request. This was the basis for the court to close the case.
