The Birobidzhansky District Court fined Yevgeny Lobanov, a participant in the July 18 rally in support of protesters in Khabarovsk, 20,500 rubles. This was reported by the local publication Nabat.

Lobanov was found guilty of organizing an uncoordinated action (Part 2 of Article 20.2 of the Administrative Code) and disobedience to the demands of a police officer (Article 19.3 of the Administrative Code). According to the first protocol, he was assigned 20 thousand rubles, according to the second - 500 rubles.

According to Nabat, hundreds of local residents took part in the action on July 18 in Birobidzhan. On that day, an uncoordinated rally in support of the Governor of the Khabarovsk Territory, Sergei Furgal, also took place in Vladivostok.

• Since July 11, residents of the Khabarovsk Territory have been holding actions in support of Governor Sergei Furgal. The procession on July 11 through the streets of Khabarovsk to the building of the regional government, according to various estimates, gathered from 5 to 35 thousand people. The police did not interfere with the protesters, and there were no arrests.
• The then-current governor of the Khabarovsk Territory, Sergei Furgal, was detained on July 9 by FSB officers on suspicion of involvement in a number of contract killings. He was taken to Moscow, where, by decision of the Basmanny District Court of Moscow, he was placed in custody until September 9. On July 16, the Moscow City Court rejected the appeal of Furgal’s defense and recognized this decision as legal. On July 20, President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Furgal’s resignation from the post of governor and appointed Furgal’s fellow party member in the LDPR, Mikhail Degtyarev, to this post as interim, Mediazona reported .
