The Kirovsky District Court of Ufa fined Fail Alsynov, chairman of the Bashkort national organization, 150,000 rubles for "re-organizing an unsanctioned rally." It is reported by "Idel. Realities".
The decision under Part 8 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses was made by Judge Tatyana Mukhina. According to the publication, the process lasted eleven and a half hours with minimal interruptions. According to the defense, it was accompanied by multiple procedural violations.
The judge, without explanation, did not allow the defenders of the activist Vitaly Burkin and Artur Gallyamov to the trial. Lawyer Andrei Babin was not allowed to familiarize himself with the case. Gallyamov was removed from the courtroom when he expressed outrage at the violation of his rights. Burkin after some time managed to join the case, but without familiarizing himself with the materials.
Despite the fact that many people came to support Alsynov, the judge did not satisfy the requests of the defense to provide a large hall. The defense's requests to adjourn the proceedings, terminate the proceedings, and replace the interpreter were also rejected.
The defenders of the accused drew attention to the fact that the police drew up a report on Alsynov not in the Baimaksky district, where the gathering took place, but in Ufa, and only a month and a half after the event.
Alsynov's defenders intend to send a statement to the Qualification Board of Judges of the Republic regarding the actions of Judge Mukhina during the trial.
Alsynov himself said that he would appeal the decision "up to the European Court, like Navalny."
