The Pskov City Court found the editor-in-chief of the “Pskov Province” Denis Kamalyagin not guilty of violating the “high alert regime” (Part 1 of Article 20.6.1 of the Administrative Code) during a single picket. He told MBH Media about this.
“Our judge made an important, from the point of view of precedent, decision that a single picket is not a public event. The judge watched the video provided by Apology of Protest lawyer Tatyana Martynova. He saw that [I, Denis Kamalyagin - OVD-Info ] did not rush at people, did not breathe on them, did not talk, but, on the contrary, [asked - OVD-Info ] to simply stay away from me. I am satisfied with the ruins of the Reichstag today. It’s a pity that my colleagues had different decisions in similar cases,” the publication quotes Kamalyagin as saying.
