In Ingushetia, the court upheld the fines of rally participants for direct elections

The Supreme Court of Ingushetia upheld fines for participating in a rally for direct elections. About this writes "Kavkaz. Realities".

The Supreme Court upheld the fines for the head of the local branch of the International Party of Russia, Mikail Khuchiev, a member of the initiative group, Daud Garakoev, and Magomed Khamkhoev. Khamoev happened to be at the rally by accident, but he was photographed from the event.

“Today I asked them just one question - what is my fault? I asked the district police officer who was detaining me about this, I asked the judge in the Magassky district court. Now he asked the Supreme Court - what did I violate? The judge's answer surprised me. He said, “I don't consider the reasons why you were fined. The district court has ruled and I am considering whether to keep it or not.” And how can you make such a decision without delving into the essence of the matter?” Khuchiev told the publication.

In total, at least 12 participants received fines after the rally.

• On June 2, a rally was held in Magas demanding that the people of Ingushetia be returned the right to elect the head of the republic by direct voting. The rally was attended by 300 to 500 people.
