In St. Petersburg (again) they detained participants in single pickets

In St. Petersburg on Malaya Sadovaya Street, participants in the single pickets of Semen Tkachuk, Roman Samoilov and Timofey Karev were detained. This was reported by the "Group of Assistance to the detainees."

Tkachuk opposed the war with Ukraine, the topics of other shares are still unknown.

All three are brought to the police department No. 78. The activists were detained “according to KUSP”, that is, allegedly due to “complaints from citizens” registered in the book of accounting for reports of crimes. Tkachuk told the OVD-Info that he always asks the police to show him these complaints, but never once saw them.

UPD 21:50 Telegram channel “The Lens of Realues” reports that Tkachuk was detained not by KUSP, but due to installation near the Gostiny Dvor.

Samoilov stood with the poster "I lived only a year without Putin and I do not remember." On the poster of Karev it was written: “Power is a people, not Putin and the government. Part 3 of Art. 3 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation: the highest direct expression of power is a referendum and free elections. ”

UPD 23:42 Samoilov and Karev was released from the department without protocols.

UPD 00:33 Tkachuk was also released from the department without a protocol.

• Recently, during the detention of St. Petersburg picketers, police almost always refer to KUSP and complaints from citizens. OVD-Info understood how this new practice was working and what is related to.
