The court arrested for five and eight days the broadcasters of rallies on Navalny LIVE

The Simonovsky District Court of Moscow arrested the hosts of the Navalny LIVE YouTube channel Ruslan Shaveddinov, press secretary of the politician’s presidential election campaign, and Kira Yarmysh, press secretary of the FBK, for eight and five days. about this on Twitter Yarmysh wrote .

The arrest of Shaveddinov is calculated from January 30. The court reclassified the activist's case from part 8 of Art. 20.2 (repeated violation of the procedure for holding a public event) to part 2 of this article (organization of an uncoordinated public event).

Yarmysh was found guilty under a similar article. She previously reported that a protocol had been drawn up against her because of a tweet with Navalny's video. Shaveddinov was credited with a tweet on the Navalny Live account that was posted while he was abroad. Lawyers drew attention to the fact that this is not a reason to bring the activist to administrative responsibility.

Shaveddinov was detained on January 30, when he and Yarmysh were at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport. After that, they were left at the police station until the trial.

During the Voter Strike on January 28, Yarmysh and Shaveddinov broadcast live on the Navalny LIVE youtube channel. The police tried to find the studio where the broadcast was being conducted, and opened the doors of the FBK office with a grinder.
