The court in Veliky Novgorod fined the participants of the rally against the increase in housing and communal services tariffs

The court in Veliky Novgorod fined the participants of the rally against the increase in housing and communal services tariffs Kirill Morozov, Alexey Zagorsky and Ilya Alexandrov 10 thousand rubles each. Rosbalt writes about this.

The activists were found guilty of violating the procedure for holding a public event (Article 20.2 of the Administrative Code). Initially, Zagorsky was accused of organizing an uncoordinated action (Part 2 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses), but since the rally took place in Hyde Park, which does not require approval, the activist was found guilty of violating the procedure for holding a public event by the organizer, the portal “Your News” reports . Morozov and Aleksandrov were fined for violating the rules of the rally by participants.

Other Russia activist Kirill Morozov, Alexei Zagorsky and Ilya Alexandrov, a member of the Communists of Russia party, were detained after a rally against rising housing and communal services tariffs and increasing government salaries on December 15. The action was organized by the “Select and Share” movement.

UPD: On March 1, the Novgorod Regional Court upheld the fine to Kirill Morozov.
