The Moscow City Court upheld the ban on certain actions of Oleg Navalny, accused of inciting violations of sanitary and epidemiological standards (Part 1 of Article 236 of the Criminal Code with the application of Part 4 of Article 33 of the Criminal Code) in connection with the rally on January 23 in support of his brother Alexei Navalny. This was reported by MBKh Media with reference to lawyer Nikos Paraskev.

The court refused to satisfy the defense's complaint and cancel the preventive measure. Oleg Navalny is prohibited from leaving his home from 20:00 to 6:00, communicating with other defendants in the case, using any means of communication on the Internet for reasons related to the investigation of the criminal case, as well as sending and receiving postal and telegraph messages.

At the beginning of June, the Tverskoy District Court extended the preventive measure for Lyubov Sobol and Oleg Navalny until November 26. At the same time, their case was transferred to the Preobrazhensky District Court, since, according to the case materials, the end of the crime occurred at the pre-trial detention center-1 “Matrosskaya Tishina”.
