The court left under house arrest a Muscovite who protested in a tree with a crossbow
The Moscow City Court upheld the house arrest of Olga Kuzmina, who protested against the renovation on a tree with a crossbow in her hands. This was reported by lawyer from OVD-Info Katerina Tertukhina.
On August 24, Kuzmina was charged with hooliganism committed by prior conspiracy with the use of objects used as weapons (Part 2 of Article 213 of the Criminal Code).
The case against Kuzmina was initiated because of the action on August 9 - she climbed a tree and thus demanded that construction on Yantarnaya Street be stopped. The activist had a crossbow with her, with which she wanted to protect herself in case they wanted to forcibly remove her from the tree.
After the action, Kuzmina was arrested for six days. Then the security forces searched her home and took away all her equipment and electronic media. At the exit from the special detention center, the woman was detained and sent to a temporary detention facility. On August 17, she was given house arrest.
