Blockade books

In Moscow, Vologda and Kaluga, the security forces seize the campaign materials of the leader of the progress of Alexei Navalny, according to the head of the election campaign, the politician Leonid Volkov. He connects the actions of the authorities with the "campaign subbotnik" appointed on July 8-9.

At about 4 o’clock in the morning, the employees of the Investigative Committee and the police came to the Moscow pre -election headquarters of Navalny, replaced locks, installed bars on the windows and carried out some "investigative actions". "The office is blocked. There, a slight circulation remained, but still unpleasant. We think how to restore the work of the Moscow headquarters," Volkov wrote.

The duty officer Alexander Turovsky, who was at night at the headquarters, was beaten by police officers. A protocol was drawn up on it under Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (non -compliance with the legal requirement of a policeman). The volunteer was taken to the Zamoskvoretsky court. From there he was taken to the Sklifosovsky Institute on an ambulance. In Turovsky, a concussion was diagnosed with the brain, he made a lumbar puncture.

Nevertheless, the police insisted on the discharge of Turovsky in order to deliver to the special reception and later to the court. However, doctors categorically refused to do this and left a volunteer in the hospital until the morning.

“Turovsky was left for the night in Sklif, but they put a bunch of police officers to him. Tomorrow at 8 in the morning they want to write out,” wrote Nikolai Lyaskin, the leader of the capital's department of the Progress Party.

Meanwhile, the lawyer of the Corruption Fund Ivan Zhdanov published a photocopy of a report submitted by the police lieutenant M. Glukhovsky in connection with the use of force towards Turovsky. The document says that the volunteer "applied sambo fighting techniques", since he "opposed legal requirements." It is noted in the Turovsky Protocol that he "answered the demand of the police to present a passport with a decisive refusal" and "interfered with investigative actions."

About 12 hours, the security forces arrived at the main warehouse of the Navalny federal headquarters. There were 205 thousand copies of the campaign newspaper. “This is the remnant of the circulation, which we have not yet distributed by the regions. At present, the investigative actions of an unknown nature in an incomprehensible case are also being carried out there,” Volkov said.

The police officers searched the headquarters in Vologda on the basis of the report of the head of the local center of “E” Major Duryagin that the literature prohibited for free circulation, printed materials containing slander and insults against representatives of the authorities, as well as calling for gross violations of public order, can store.

In Kaluga, the police arrived at the warehouse of the Logistics Company "Business Lines", where in the morning the circulation was entered, intended for the regional headquarters of Navalny.

“In a number of regions (Ivanovo, Barnaul, Nizhny Novgorod, Orenburg and others), the same“ business lines ”do not give out the cargo (although according to their accounting system it arrived and is on the terminal), explaining the“ technical failure, ”Volkov writes.“ From our planned campaign subbotnik, the roof finally broke the roof on July 8-9. ”

Volunteers of the Moscow headquarters of Navalny continue to work on the street. "The record continues to the coordinators of points on July 8-9. We are working from the battery with the inverter," said Nikolai Lyaskin, the leader of the capital's department of the progress party.

In the afternoon, the police came to the Astrakhan headquarters of Navalny. “There was a call that illegal election campaigning is being carried out here. Everything is inspected for recording,” the Navalny -Astrakhan team said in the VK group. “The search has moved to the withdrawal. We took all the leaflets and other materials. They even removed posters from the walls.”

On Thursday, at about 13 hours, Interfax announced with reference to the deputy chief of the threat of the metropolitan OP Zamoskvorechye Evgenia Tikhomirov that the search is not related to the activities of the Moscow Headquarters, but is carried out in the arbitrariness case (Article 330 of the Criminal Code). According to the security officer, the police received applications for violation by the owner of the building - the company "Balchug Estit" - the terms of the lease agreements. Applications were submitted by the tenant - the company "Paritite MG" - as well as the subleases.

There are no complaints about Navalny as the Subaredor, Tikhomirov assured. In the building, he added, now only Chopovtsy are located - the police are left there. The activist, who was on duty at the headquarters at night, as follows from the explanation of the security forces, was taken to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Central District of Moscow. There were also brought things and documents seized in the room.

On the eve of the searches were held in the Novosibirsk and Oryol headquarters of Navalny . In both cities, the security forces seized all campaign materials stored in the premises. However, the Novosibirsk volunteers managed to save most of the circulation, taking the newspaper on their cars.
