The city court of St. Petersburg upheld 25 days of arrest for the coordinator of the headquarters of Alexei Navalny Denis Mikhailov. It is reported by ZakS.ru.
The activist was brought to court in handcuffs.
Mikhailov was arrested on March 2. He was found guilty under Part 8 of Art. 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (repeated violation of the procedure for holding a public action) due to participation in the “Voters' Strike”. The activist went on a hunger strike.
