The Moscow City Court recognized the house arrest of activist Mark Galperin as legal
On July 27, the Moscow City Court rejected an appeal against the preventive measure in the form of house arrest for oppositionist Mark Halperin. Interfax is about this.
reports Galperin is charged under Part 2 of Article 280 of the Criminal Code (calls for extremist activity made using the Internet, maximum penalty - five years in prison) for a video with his interview on Red Square.
On June 26, Judge of the Meshchansky District Court Maxim Morozov placed Galperina under house arrest for one month and five days while the investigation continues. It happened last year. In the appeal, the oppositionist's lawyer Alexey Liptser asked to choose a preventive measure not related to restriction of freedom. Halperin himself said after the trial that the term of house arrest was reduced by one day - not until the third, but until the second of August; the trial judge calculated incorrectly.
