In Makhachkala, the court decided to pay 3 thousand rubles to the detained activists of the “Our City” movement.

The Soviet District Court of Makhachkala partially satisfied the claim of activists of the Our City movement against the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the wake of the arrest on January 4 in the central city square. about this . writes The "Caucasian Knot"

The court ruled to pay 3,000 rubles each to Ziyautdin Uvaisov, Murad Muradov and Arsen Magomedov as compensation for non-pecuniary damage, whose detention was previously recognized as groundless. Activists of Our City demanded compensation in the amount of 439,000 rubles.

At the court session, a representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the republic asked to dismiss the claim, stating that the payment of compensation "will violate the rights of vulnerable segments of the population." “The source of funds for compensation for harm is the treasury of the Russian Federation, which is formed at the expense of tax collections, payments collected from citizens and legal entities. These funds are used both to compensate for harm caused by state bodies and to provide social support to citizens for the realization of the rights of privileged categories of citizens, including disabled people who are not able to earn money on their own. Therefore, in order to reasonably distribute the funds of public law education, it is necessary to maintain a balance of interests so that compensation for harm to one category of citizens would not violate the rights of other categories of citizens,” the Kavkazsky Knot quotes the position of the security forces.

• In September, lawyers for supporters of the Our City movement said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan disciplined three police officers who on January 4 illegally detained several civil activists on the central square of Makhachkala and took them to the police station.
• On January 4, 2020, on the central square of Makhachkala, PPS officers detained six people, among whom were activists of the Our City movement and journalists. The detainees came to the square to assess the quality of the reconstruction carried out there, which cost 300 million rubles. Many citizens were dissatisfied with the results of the reconstruction, pointing to problems with lighting, defects in the mosaic pavement, poor-quality laying of slabs and other problems. Residents of Makhachkala accused the authorities of "cutting" budget funds.
