The fine for the coordinator of Open Russia for the “Fed up” campaign is upheld

The Tambov Regional Court upheld the decision of the Leninsky District Court of Tambov, which found Vladimir Zhilkin, the coordinator of the Open Russia movement, guilty of organizing the "I'm tired" action on April 29. This was reported on the website of the publication "Open Russia".

Zhilkin was fined on April 29 for 25 thousand rubles under Part 2 of Art. 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (organization or holding of a public event without filing a notice of holding a public event in accordance with the established procedure).

Before the rally, Zhilkin wrote on his Vkontakte page that he was going to visit the presidential reception on April 29. However, on the day of the action, at the exit from the entrance, he was detained by the police and taken to the police department. On the same day the trial took place.

• On April 26, 2017, the Russian Prosecutor General's Office declared a number of organizations associated with Mikhail Khodorkovsky undesirable. The list includes UK-registered OR Otkrytaya Rossia, Open Russia Civic Movement, Open Russia and Institute of Modern Russia, Inc, registered in the USA. The Russian authorities believe that the Open Russia movement is related to these legal entities, and therefore is also an undesirable organization on the territory of the Russian Federation.
