In Orenburg, six activists of the Vesna movement were detained when they handed out campaign leaflets with an invitation to come to an anti-corruption rally on June 12. According to the OVD-Info hotline, Ksenia Rodina, Roman Koterev, Denis Shepel, Viktor Gubanov, Vladimir Gorban and Denis Bondarenko were detained. The police motivated the detention by the need to identify the activists.
At present, the detainees are being taken to the police department, and lawyers from the headquarters have come to see them.
