In St. Petersburg, the police detained Olga Smirnova, the coordinator of the Solidarity SPb movement. This was announced by the ATD-Info by human rights activist Dinar Idrisov.

Smirnova conducted a single picket dedicated to the end of the presidential decree No. 202 - he introduced restrictions on public events during the World Cup. The activist was delivered to the police department No. 1.

UPD 21:59 Smirnov was accused of organizing a public event without submitting a notification (part 2 of article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). According to the protocol, she "organized herself for a single picket."

Idrisov noted that they tried to withdraw him by force from the police department. Smirnov itself is kept for more than three hours. Probably, she will be left in the department at night.

UPD 22:20 Idrisov added that, according to the protocol, the activist “discredited Russia in the eyes of the world community” with her actions.

• Decree No. 202 introduced restrictions on the movement of citizens and on public actions in cities where the 2018 World Cup matches were held.
