The court overturned the forced psychiatric examination of Maltsev's supporter

The Volgograd Regional Court canceled the forced psychiatric examination of Anatoly Boltykhov, a supporter of Vyacheslav Maltsev from Volgograd. “Caucasian Knot” writes about this.

Boltykhov’s defense announced the use of “punitive medicine” methods against him. The activist’s associates and relatives came to the trial; Boltykhov himself was not in court.

The trial, held in psychiatric hospital No. 2 in Volgograd on November 22, left Anatoly Boltykhov for compulsory psychiatric examination. The end date of the examination is not known, but, as a rule, medical observation is required for a month to issue a medical report.

Anatoly Boltykhov was detained on November 17. In the evening, the activist repaired his car and took the car battery home. On the way, a police officer stopped him and voiced suspicion that the battery was stolen. Boltykhov was taken to the department and a psychiatric emergency team was called. The doctors examined the man and, recognizing him as sane and responding adequately to his surroundings, left. After some time, they returned, according to eyewitnesses, with “gray faces”, and hospitalized Boltykhov in the hospital.

According to the definition, the basis for the activist’s hospitalization was information from a police inspector and a doctor: Boltykhov behaved “inappropriately, talked about seizing power, as a result of which an ambulance was called to him.”
