I closed the court with my hands

Hearing in the case of the activist of the New Opposition, Mark Galperin, accused of calling for extremism, will be held closed. The judge of the Nagatinsky District Court of Moscow, Natalya Borisenkova, took such a decision at the request of the prosecutor, the correspondent of "faces" from the courtroom reports.

The prosecutor asked to close the court session, "taking into account the specifics of the incriminated act," which, according to his layers, "directed against the constitutional system." In addition, the prosecutor handed the court a certificate from the center "E". The document noted that the audience disclose the data and photos of the witness of the prosecution by Vladimir Kaverin on social networks.

On January 17, the first hearings were held on the merits. At them, Halperin said he did not plead guilty . At this meeting, Kaverin testified. It turned out that it was he who wrote the denunciation for the activist. After this photo, Kavrin was published by users of social networks.

Halperin was charged under part 2 of Article 280 of the Criminal Code (public calls for extremist activities committed using the media or the Internet). The maximum punishment provided for by this part is five years of imprisonment. According to the plot of the case, Halperin in August and September 2016 on Red Square recorded videos with the names "We acquire combat readiness on the streets" and "My answer to Ren TV - Maidan to be." Then, with the help of Journalist Olga Sapronova, the activist posted these records on the Grad.v YouTube channel.

The case against Halperin was opened back in 2016, but it became known about him on February 7 of the vulgar year . Then the activist was detained and interrogated as a witness. From Halperin, as in the future from Lipzer’s lawyer, they took a non -disclosure subscription, so the details of the case were unknown.

On June 15, 2017, Galperin was taken out of a special receiver, where he was serving 15 daily arrest for participating in the anti -corruption campaign on Tverskaya on June 12, for interrogation and there was charged .

Immediately after the departure of the administrative arrest of Halperin, they delivered to the Meshchansky District Court of Moscow. Judge Maxim Morozov sent the activist under house arrest , fully satisfied the petition of the investigator, supported by the prosecutor. The activist and his Lipzer lawyer himself opposed house arrest. Halperin called such a measure of restraint "excessive."

This is the second case of Halperin. The first was opened on January 16, 2015 under article 212.1 of the Criminal Code (repeated violations at rallies). The activist took the unsuccessful subscription. However, in the future, the investigation in this case was suspended.
