"Spring" was recognized as an extremist organization

The youth movement "Vesna" was recognized as an extremist organization. Such a decision was made by the City Court of St. Petersburg, the lawyers of Vesna Anton Golubev and Andrei Chertkov reported .

According to the defenders, the text of the claim was not shown by the lawsuit - the document “Secret” is on the document. And the lawyers did not allow him to write out of him.

In the telegram channel "Spring" they wrote that they plan to appeal the court decision.

“We will continue our work both in Russia and abroad. Nothing will stop us in the way to our goal - to end the criminal war and meaningless bloodshed and save as many lives as possible on both sides of the front, ”says Spring.

How the meetings took place. On November 8, in the city court of St. Petersburg, the first meeting on the claim of the prosecutor’s office on the recognition of the “Spring” “Extremist” movement was held . The documents of the case and the claim itself are classified, and the meeting was held closed. This was reported to the "paper" by the lawyer "Vesna" Andrei Chertkov.

“The case contains information containing a state secret. But in my opinion, there are no secrets in this information. The prosecutor's office did this in order to prevent an open consideration of the case, to complicate the life of the defense, and also not to show all the weakness of his position, ”Chertkov told Paper .

The court refused to provide protection with the opportunity to make a copy of the lawsuit or write out information from it due to the fact that the document was classified. According to Andrei Chertkov, this is an abuse of the right from the prosecutor's office of St. Petersburg.
