In Novosibirsk, the police again blocked the headquarters of Alexei Navalny. This was announced on Twitter by the head of Navalny's campaign headquarters, Leonid Volkov.
Volkov suggests that this is a reaction to the decision of the Central District Court on July 14, according to which the refusal to approve the rally on July 9 was declared illegal.
The blocking of the headquarters is also reported on the page “Team Navalny | Novosibirsk" in the social network "VKontakte". Activists write that the police do not have a search warrant, and the coordinator, lawyer and volunteer are "saving the remaining copies of the newspaper." “Volunteers have already helped to take out all laptops and hard drives,” the message says.
