Detained participant in the anti-Yadrovo movement Artem Lyubimov went on a hunger strike

Artyom Lyubimov, a detained participant in the movement against the Yadrovo landfill, went on a hunger strike. This information was confirmed to OVD-Info by lawyer Denis Kunaev, who represents the interests of the activist.

Lyubimov went on a hunger strike at the Istra city police department, where he was left pending trial in the case of disobedience to the demands of police officers (Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).

The activist was detained when he was traveling from Moscow to Volokolamsk. At the gas station, three cars drove up to him, one of which was a police car, the other two were unmarked. Law enforcement officers examined the car in which the activist was located, after which they took him to the Istra police department.

In his blog, Kunaev wrote that Lyubimov was followed for several days before being detained.

On April 1, he was supposed to speak in Volokolamsk at a rally against a landfill. The activist's defender emphasized that Lyubimov was announced as the main speaker of the event.
