The court in St. Petersburg justified the detainee in May Day

The Kuibyshevsky District Court of St. Petersburg closed the administrative case of activist Dmitry Nagdin, detained at May Day. About this ATD-Info was told by human rights activist Dinar Idrisov, who defended Nessin in court.

The police drew up a protocol for Netino under part 5 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (violation of the procedure for a public event). But Judge Andrei Dondik considered the opinion of the police unreasonable and closed the case for the lack of the composition of the offense. The interests of Nagdin in court were represented by defenders from the “Assistance Group for Detained” Ksenia Korchilova and Dinar Idrisov.

“Nagidin was detained in the main column,” said Idrisov. - Previously, there were already terminations of affairs according to May Day, but they all concerned the detentions on Ligovsk, before the start of movement and confrontation with the police. Before people began to demand the release of the detainees. Then the police decided to accelerate, realizing that people are now sitting down and all that. It was possible to get video recordings of the “City Monitoring Center” from all cameras in the course of the procession and convincingly present the evidence that there was no fabulous inconsistent rally within the agreed procession invented by the police. And the inability to move forward was due to the actions of the police. This is the first such pebble in the first instance where the police managed to break the position.

• At the May Day actions throughout the country, 131 people were detained in 2019, 65 in St. Petersburg.
• Detention in St. Petersburg was accompanied by violence by law enforcement officers. At Natalia Barinova, a fracture of the shoulder joint with a displacement was diagnosed . Photo correspondent Georgy Markov announced the beaten by the police. Vasily Buinov was taken away from the police department at the ambulance.
