Ufa authorities refused to coordinate the action against political repression on February 23

The Ufa administration refused to approve a rally against political repression, scheduled for February 23. This was reported by MBKh Media with reference to the organizer of the action, the deputy of the Kurultai of Bashkiria, Dmitry Chuvilin.

Officials in the refusal referred to restrictive measures in connection with the coronavirus pandemic.

“We wanted to hold an action against political repressions and against the increase in tariffs for utilities, so that people could have their say. The authorities constantly reproach that people go to illegal rallies. Another refusal to approve showed that it is impossible to hold a legal action here,” Chuvilin said.

• All over the country, the authorities are refusing to agree on actions in support of victims of political persecution: in Moscow, the libertarian parties , who planned a protest on February 23, were refused, as well as the communists who wanted to celebrate the Day of the Soviet Army, in Ulyanovsk - to human rights activist Igor Toporkov , who wanted to organize a rally on February 20 February for the release of Alexei Navalny and other political prisoners, in Ufa - to activists of the socio-political movement "Republic" , who were going to speak out in support of the politically persecuted on February 14.
