Roizman* will sit
Sverdlovsk Regional Court left the decision of the district court to arrest ex-mayor of Yekaterinburg unchanged
In the Sverdlovsk Regional Court, a meeting was held on an appeal on yesterday's court decision on the arrest of politician Evgeny Roizman*. On March 16, Judge Vladimir Ushakov in the Leninsky District Court of Yekaterinburg appointed ex-mayor of the city administrative arrest for 14 days under part 1 of Article 20.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses “Propaganda or public demonstration of Nazi paraphernalia or symbols, or attributes or symbols of extremist organizations”. The reason for the decision was the placement in the Evgeny Roizman group “VKontakte” of the video with Alexei Navalny, where the logo of the corruption fund was demonstrated (the organization was recognized as extremist and prohibited in the Russian Federation).
At the meeting, Judge Olga Belevantseva read out the decision of the Lenin court, as well as a complaint of lawyer Vladislav Idamzhapov demanding that Roizman never had an account on the VKontakte social network and he could not technically publish an entry in the Evgeny Roizman group.
According to the lawyer, the court did not describe
In what way, Evgeny Roizman committed an offense, ignored the fact that there should be an account to post information, but it was not there.
In addition, for publication in this group, you need to have rights in this community, and the politician also did not have and did not. Of the four administrators of the group, only one was interviewed - Leila Huseynova, who confirmed that Roizman had never had an account on VKontakte.
Vladislav Idamzhapov emphasized that back in January he asked the police to find out from the administration of the social network who posted this information. But there was no request, and this led to an illegal outcome - the court decided on the basis of only the police report.
The lawyer petitioned the demand for information in VKontakte, but the judge rejected the petition, since this is impossible as part of the consideration of the appeal - only a day is given to consideration and decision on a complaint.
The trial was performed by the witness-an employee of the SKB-Costor (a Russian company engaged in the development of software). He confirmed
that on the social network it is impossible to place a publication without an account. It is also impossible to make publication on behalf of the community without being the author or owner of this community.
After a short stay in the deliberation room, judge Olga Belevantseva recognized the decision of the court of first instance as legal and reasonable. Thus, the judicial act entered into force.
