The Yaroslavl Regional Court upheld a six-year term of administrative supervision for Ruslan Vakhapov, the coordinator of the local branch of Rus Sitting and a former prisoner of IK-1. This is stated on the Facebook page of the Public Verdict Foundation.

The decision on supervision has entered into force. The foundation's lawyer, Irina Biryukova, who represents Vakhapov's interests, said she would appeal the decision to the Constitutional Court and the ECtHR.

“The only changes in the supervisory procedure are that Vakhapov was allowed to live not at the place of permanent registration, visit catering places and spend the night in any room, having warned the inspector in advance. Vakhapov must still check in four times a week, ”the employees of the Public Verdict report.

Ruslan Vakhapov, Ivan Nepomnyashchikh, a person involved in the Bolotnaya case, and Yevgeny Makarov are former prisoners of the Yaroslavl IK-1 who publicly spoke about the beating by the Federal Penitentiary Service in the spring of 2017.
In January, a protocol was drawn up against Vakhapov on violation of administrative restrictions (part 1 of article 19.24). The police considered that he violated the conditions of supervision - allegedly the former prisoner did not spend the night at the declared address. Subsequently, the case was dismissed due to the lack of corpus delicti.
