A second protocol of disrespect for authority was drawn up against a resident of Tatarstan

The police of the village of Sarmanova in Tatarstan drew up a second report on disrespect for the authorities against a local resident Maxim Semin. this on his telegram channel announced Pavel Chikov, head of the Agora International Human Rights Group, with reference to the website of the Sarmanovsky District Court.

What was the reason for initiating a new case under Part 3 of Art. 20.1 (dissemination of information expressing disrespect for the authorities) against Semin is still unknown.

The first protocol was drawn up against him because of the publication on Vkontakte in the group “typical Jamil” on May 29. “The gang (UNITED RUSSIA) for which you, your ancestors, are voting, IS A Wandering of Thieves and Fraudsters, Their children are citizens of Great Britain and the USA,” Semin wrote then under the pseudonym “Evil Pombur” (spelling and punctuation preserved - OVD-Info).

The case was dismissed due to lack of corpus delicti. stated The court ruling that "the negative assessment of the activities of a particular party, its members, as well as representatives of the authorities, contained in the statements, is not a sign of the objective side of the offense."

• In March, Vladimir Putin signed a law on disrespect for the authorities. For the first offense under part 3 of article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, a fine of 30 to 100 thousand rubles is provided. According to the head of Agora, Pavel Chikov, at least 11 administrative cases have been opened under the article on disrespect for the authorities.
