Moscow authorities did not approve a rally of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation against police brutality during protests

The Moscow authorities did not agree on a rally on Revolution Square on March 20, which the Communist Party wanted to hold. This is written by Open Media with reference to the head of the Moscow branch of the party, Valery Rashkin.

The publication does not specify the reason for the refusal of the capital's officials.

At the rally, the communists wanted to raise the topic of police brutality during the protests, as well as defend the constitutional right to freedom of assembly.

According to the publication, Rashkin plans to change the format and organize a meeting with the deputy - the leader of the Moscow Communists has already applied for it. An unlimited number of people can come to such meetings, but they are not allowed to use posters and chant slogans.

It is not the first time that the Moscow authorities have refused to coordinate the actions of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - in February, officials banned a procession and a rally against political repressions.

Rashkin told Open Media that if the authorities continue to adhere to the refusal policy, then the communists will begin to go to uncoordinated actions.
