The Oktyabrsky District Court of Murmansk fined the head of Alexei Navalny’s headquarters, Violetta Grudina, 150 thousand rubles for the campaign “He is not our king.” Grudina reported this.
OVD-InfoActivist was found guilty of repeated violation of the procedure for holding a public event (Part 8 of Article 20.2 of the Administrative Code). According to her, the judge ignored all the arguments of the defense, and she spent only five minutes in the deliberation room before the decision was announced.
Grudina recalled that the “He is not our king” rally on May 5 took place without arrests. The event authorities proposed sites that, according to the applicants, are too far from the city center and difficult to reach by public transport.
