The court considered Navalny's subbotnik in Voronezh to be premature propaganda

On July 11, the Central District Court of Voronezh agreed with the city mayor’s office and recognized the “campaign subbotnik” action of Alexei Navalny’s supporters on July 8 and 9 as premature campaigning, RBC reports .

The organizers of the cleanup filed a lawsuit alleging illegal warnings from the city administration, which did not approve the picket. The court did not satisfy the claim.

Members of Navalny's team claim that the purpose of the event is to inform citizens about Alexei Navalny's plans to participate in the 2018 presidential elections and the investigations of his Anti-Corruption Foundation.

Alexei Navalny's "Big Subbotnik" campaign took place in 18 Russian cities. On Saturday, police detained more than 130 people, and on Sunday - more than 44.
