The Vsevolozhsk City Court of the Leningrad Region refused to expel citizens of Belarus, Zhanna Galeeva to his homeland, reports "Apology of Protest".
Galeev was detained on March 21 for shooting a video in support of protests in the Republic of Belarus, which continued after the presidential election. It drew up an administrative protocol for violating the rules of rallies. Later it turned out that Galeeva was banned from entering Russia.
Allegedly, for violation of migration legislation against Galeeva, another administrative protocol amounted to. She was threatened with expulsion to the republic. Lawyers convinced the court in the absence of an offense. The case against Galeeva was stopped.
In August 2020, thousands of inhabitants of Belarus reached massive protests due to the presidential elections, at which the CEC of the Republic recognized the head of Belarus Alexander Lukasheko. The opposition does not agree with the decision of the commission and considers the elections in Belarus to be falsified.
In St. Petersburg, the natives of Belarus went to the consulate of the republic, where they arranged shares in support of protests. At the end of 2020, the police in St. Petersburg detained activists from the consulate of Belarus, after which the mass shares stopped.
