Human rights activist Dinar Idrisov, arrested for 14 days, is on a dry hunger strike for the second day

Human rights activist Dinar Idrisov, who was arrested the day before for 14 days, is on a dry hunger strike for the second day. Activist Irina Yatsenko wrote about this on her Facebook page. According to her, Idrisov drinks water only to wash down his blood pressure pills. The main demand that Idrisov makes is to resign the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of St. Petersburg for violating the law during the action on the Champ de Mars on June 12.

Idrisov was detained on June 13 in the same Dzerzhinsky court. First, a protocol was drawn up against him under Art. 17.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (disobeying the order of a judge or bailiff), was released from the court, but then dragged back into the building. Someone threw a bottle at him, which he waved away with his hand, causing it to fly back towards the courthouse - after which the police ran out and, calling for help from riot police, detained Idrisov again.

On June 15, the Dzerzhinsky District Court of St. Petersburg arrested Idrisov for 14 days under Article 20.1 of the Administrative Code (petty hooliganism). The meeting was held behind closed doors.
