The editor-in-chief of the “Pskov province” was called to the police because of the announcement of single pickets

The editor-in-chief of Pskovskaya Gubernia, Denis Kamalyagin, was summoned to the police for a “conversation” because of announcements of single pickets in support of journalist Svetlana Prokopyeva. She is accused of justifying terrorism (Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code). This was reported by MBKH Media with reference to Kamalyagin himself.

Police officers came to Kamalyagin’s home, but could not find him there. Neighbors told him about the police's arrival. Then the police called Kamalyagin and said that they considered him the organizer of a series of single pickets planned for today.

“The meeting with the police is scheduled for 14:00, they will explain to me that I am calling for illegal actions. They will call on me to prevent this action, they want me to come and say: “Don’t,” Kamalyagin told MBKh Media.

14:50 The police gave Kamalyagin a warning about the inadmissibility of violations. The security forces also threatened to draw up reports against the “organizers of single pickets” and their participants, MBKH Media reported.
