In Mitino, police detained six opponents of park development due to the raising of the Russian flag

In Moscow, in the Mitino district, six opponents of the construction of a shopping center on the site of a park were detained. One of the detainees, Svetlana Krivitskaya, told OVD-Info about this.

The activists were detained during a meeting of local residents in the park. During the meeting, according to Moscow City Duma deputy Sergei Mitrokhin, the participants raised the flag of Russia - this was probably the reason for the detention. Svetlana Krivitskaya was told by the police that she was holding an unauthorized event.

Among the detainees: Svetlana Krivitskaya, Petr Kirichenko, Alexander Petrov, Nina Reshetilova and two other people. The police take explanations from the activists and draw up a report on the delivery to the department.

20:16 All the detainees were released from the department with a protocol on participation in an unapproved action. This was reported to OVD-Info by Svetlana Krivitskaya.
