The Leninsky District Court of Ufa fined Yunir Kutluguzhin, the first secretary of the Bashkir republican committee of the Communist Party, for 10,000 rubles. He was found guilty under Part 5 of Art. 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (violation by a participant of the procedure for holding a public event), writes . Kommersant-Ufa
A protocol was drawn up against Kutluguzhin after speaking at a rally on September 21, which the authorities did not agree on . The main demand of the activists was the resignation of the head of the republic, Rustem Khamitov.
Kutluguzhin noted that the court did not ensure the attendance of witnesses, which he had requested at the previous meeting. “The judge did not take into account my deputy status, referring to a letter from the city prosecutor, which allows not to impose special requirements on the procedure for bringing to justice,” he said.
