In St. Petersburg, the security forces detained the activist Marina Zagorodneva, who went out to a single picket with the poster “Freedom to all political prisoners”. This was reported by Mr7.ru.

The girl was detained near the Petrogradskaya metro station, now she is being taken to the 43rd police department. A lawyer from the OVD-info Sergey Podolsky went to Zagorodneva.

“I used to participate in protests, then I stopped, because there were many cruel detentions. But after the start of hostilities in 2022, it became worse to remain silent than to go out and declare their position, ”said Zagorodneva. It is noted that her picket lasted about 30 minutes.

On June 4, Marina Zagorodnev and Vitaly Ioffe was detained in St. Petersburg because of a walk with blue and yellow balloons in her hands.

This was told by the lawyer from the ATS-info Sergey Podolsky, who helped her.
