A report will be drawn up against the Mediazona correspondent for disobedience to the policeman who broke his arm

The Ministry of Internal Affairs in St. Petersburg summoned Mediazona correspondent David Frenkel to draw up a protocol on disobedience to a police officer who broke his arm at a polling station. It is reported by Mediazona.

According to the publication, in addition to Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, they plan to charge the photographer with articles on interference in the work of the election commission (Article 5.69 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of St. Petersburg) and on violation of the high alert regime (Article 20.6.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).

David Frenkel was detained at polling station No. 2219, where he came to record possible violations. Then the policeman tried to push him out of the station and dropped the photographer, as a result of which the latter injured his hand. He was later diagnosed with a fracture and underwent surgery.

July 23 Three administrative protocols were actually filed against David Frenkel. He announced this on his Twitter.

• David Frenkel is a Mediazona correspondent who regularly posts photo reports, including from protests.
• On March 11, the State Duma approved the draft law on amendments to the Constitution, initiated by Vladimir Putin. Before that, the President supported the amendment of Deputy Valentina Tereshkova, who proposed to give the President the opportunity to run for two new terms after the adoption of amendments to the Constitution. Sobyanin called the ban on Putin being elected "a destabilizing factor." After an all-Russian vote, the amendments were adopted.
