Moscow authorities refused to approve the #SaveOlegSentsov campaign

The prefecture of the Central Administrative District of Moscow refused to approve the action in support of Oleg Sentsov #SaveOlegSentsov . This is reported by Alisa Ganieva on her Facebook page.

The action in support of the director was planned to be held on June 2 from 14.00 to 15.00 on Chistoprudny Boulevard, on Tverskoy Boulevard or near the monument to Pushkin.

Deputy prefect Larisa Tiunova dismissed the notification, citing the fact that "carrying out pickets at the indicated addresses would disrupt the functioning of vital facilities" and "impede the movement of pedestrians."

• Oleg Sentsov, a Ukrainian filmmaker, who is in the colony of the city of Labytnangi (Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug), went on an indefinite hunger strike on May 14, 2018, demanding the release of 64 Ukrainian political prisoners in Russia. Now we are on the 17th day of the hunger strike.
• Sentsov was sentenced to 20 years in prison on charges of organizing a terrorist community.
