The Moscow police warns about the possibility of provocations on an agreed anti -corruption action on June 12, the police will react tightly to any violations. This is stated in the statement by the press service of the capital's head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"In connection with the incoming information about possible provocations in the conduct of this event (in particular, it is possible to appear in half masks who will try to use pepper gas cans, etc.), which can lead to violations of public order, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow warns the organizers and participants of the event about the need to comply with the law. The metropolitan police will respond to offenses," the statement said.

“We remind you that the responsibility for ensuring the safety of participants in the event is assigned to the organizers of public events,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs emphasized. “The law enforcement bodies will take all the necessary measures to ensure the safety of residents and guests of the capital, celebrating the national holiday.”

Meanwhile, the leader of the Party of Progress Alexei Nalvalina reports that the capital authorities are pressure on the contractors from whom the organizers were going to order sound -integrating equipment. The Moscow City Hall already at our fifth contractor pressed, forcing him not to give us even a sound for a rally. Direct installation: we agreed to the rally, but we will ban the sound and video. And they really intimidate everyone without hesitation. Well, a rally does not make sense without sound. Since they don’t let them talk, then let's go for a walk along the streets of Moscow, ”the politician wrote .

On May 29, Navalny applied to the city hall for the procession and rally in the center of Moscow . “Today is the first day when, according to the law, you can submit notifications to the authorities about the holding of our anti -corruption shares on June 12. Exactly at 8 in the morning the city hall of the city of Moscow was notified,” Navalny wrote. “The process went in other cities. Moreover, in some places the people were waiting for the opening of the administrations of their cities to apply first.” In total, applications have already been submitted in more than 220 cities.

In Moscow, it was planned to go through a procession from the Square of the Tverskaya Zastava along the 1st Tverskaya-Yamskoye and Tverskaya streets to Okhotnoye, and there hold a rally. However, officials demanded that the action be transferred either to Sakharov Avenue or to the southeast of the capital. On June 5, the organizers filed a new notice by choosing Sakharov Avenue.

On Wednesday, the city hall agreed on a new application. At the same time, the head of the headquarters of Navalny Leonid Volkov said that the route of the procession is only 300 meters and the organizers will not hold it, but they will immediately begin a rally . In addition, the mayor's office refused to coordinate the installation of screens and additional soundaging, referring to "considerations of safety and the fight against terrorism."

On Friday, the head of the regional security department of the capital, Vladimir Chernikov, said that on the eve of mass shares on June 12, the Moscow authorities will establish surveillance cameras with the face recognition function on the streets of the city. "Video cameras will be located in the sectors and provide one hundred percent coverage of shares," the official said.

"There are many events in the city. This time we decided to apply quite serious and effective technical means for security purposes - we will install video surveillance cameras with the personality indexation system," Chernikov said. He added that this system supports the “Portrait recognition” function.
