The Moscow Regional Court upheld the arrests of detained Left Bloc activists

On October 6, the Moscow Regional Court upheld the court's decision to arrest four Left Bloc activists. On September 25, the Odintsovo City Court arrested eight activists for terms ranging from three to fourteen days for disobeying the lawful demands of police officers. The Left Block announced this in a press release.

Left Bloc activists were detained when they tried to hold a direct action near elite cottages in Barvikha. All of them drew up protocols under Art. 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (disobedience to the lawful order of a police officer) and left pending trial in police departments.

According to the police, the offense committed by the detained activists of the Left Bloc was that when law enforcement officers asked to show documents, the activists began to run away, thereby disobeying the lawful order of a representative of the authorities (19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).

The activists themselves said that they could not identify the people who approached them as police officers, because they did not introduce themselves and were dressed in civilian clothes.

Vladimir Zhuravlev - 3 days of arrest. Aliya Ziganshina , Anna Zaitseva, Alexei Kobaidze - 4 days of administrative arrest. Taslima Ramazanova - 10 days of arrest, Tatyana Kremenchugskaya - 12 days of arrest. Danil Alferyev, Sergey A. - 14 days of arrest.
