Meduza correspondent Kristina Safonova left the police

Those detained on the evening of July 3 at pickets near the FSB building on Lubyanka began to be released from the Zamoskvorechye police department.

Meduza correspondent Kristina Safonova left the office with an obligation to appear in order to draw up a report on violations of the rules of rallies and pickets (part 5 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).

In addition to her, at the time of the news release, two more people were released from the police department, 14 detainees remained in the department.

Together with Kristina Safonova, 16 more people were detained at Lubyanka at the beginning of the ninth evening.

They went to the police station at about 23:00 Moscow time after the lawyers of the “Apology of Protest” were allowed in (they could not get into the police department from half past nine to half past ten in the evening).

Correction. Initially, the news reported that Kristina Safonova left the police department with a protocol under Part 5 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, in fact, we are talking about “determination on the appointment of the time and place of drawing up the protocol.” Meduza apologizes to readers
