The Supreme Court of Tatarstan canceled the decision of the Vakhitovsky District Court of Kazan, who arrested for 10 days Elvir Dmitriev, coordinator of the city headquarters Alexei Navalny. This was reported to the "Franes" by the lawyer of the international human rights group "Agora" Irina Gontsova.
“The court decided to release Elvira Dmitrieva, and the case is sent for a new consideration,” Gontsova said.
On Wednesday, the police detained Dmitriev. She was delivered to the Yapeev police department and drew up a protocol under part 8 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (repeated violation of the established procedure for organizing or conducting a meeting, rally, demonstration, procession or picket). Police officers saw a violation of the law in the call of activists to distribute propaganda leaflets in the city in support of Navalny. On the same day, the Vakhitovsky District Court of Kazan sentenced Dmitrieva as 10 days of arrest. The activist herself did not plead guilty.
Dmitriev was already brought to administrative responsibility. For participation in the anti -corruption action on March 26 in Kazan, she was sentenced to compulsory work and a fine of 10 thousand rubles.
On July 7, in Kazan, the police came to Navalny’s headquarters and seized agitmaterials . “Police came to us, describe leaflets and campaigning materials that are at the headquarters. They reported that they will not only seize their samples, but all the agitmaterials,” Dmitrieva said then. According to her, law enforcement officers did not show representatives of the headquarters any documents on the basis of which they carry out procedural actions. The police said that they came to the headquarters on a certain application, but Dmitriev did not familiarize him with this document.
