Volunteer of Navalny's headquarters Danis Rafikov was detained in Ufa when he was picking up leaflets about the Free Navalny! from the printing house. He himself informed OVD-Info about this.

The reason for the detention was the filming of the police officers on camera when they seized the circulation. The employees regarded this as disobedience to the demands of the police (Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses), allegedly one of them demanded to stop filming.

The detainee was taken to the police department to draw up a protocol.

There were no grounds for fingerprinting: if the identity of the detainee is established, fingerprints can only be taken in case of criminal charges or after a court decision on administrative arrest (clause “g”, Article 9 of the Federal Law “On Fingerprint Registration of the Russian Federation”).

In the afternoon, Rafikov should have a court session at which the protocol will be considered.
