Three people arrested in connection with shooting at Bryansk gymnasium

On December 10, the Sovetsky District Court of the city of Bryansk placed 51-year-old Larisa Katolikova, deputy director of the economic department of gymnasium No. 5, where the shooting took place last week, under house arrest until February 7.

Katolikova was charged with criminal negligence (Article 293 of the Criminal Code). She faces up to seven years in prison. As reported, she was detained the day before after interrogation.

On the same day, the same court sent the father of the girl who shot at the gymnasium, Dmitry Afanaskin, to a pre-trial detention center. He is accused of careless storage of firearms, resulting in the death of two persons (Part 2 of Article 224 of the Criminal Code) and driving his own daughter to suicide (Clause “a” of Part 2 of Article 110 of the Criminal Code).

The investigation claims that Afanaskin's daughter was able to take his gun because he stored it improperly. “The investigating authorities also accuse the person involved in the case of driving his minor daughter to suicide through threats, cruel treatment and systematic humiliation of her human dignity,” the court said. Afanaskin himself admitted guilt only to careless storage of weapons.

A day earlier, the court sent Sergei Poddubny, director of the private security organization Excalibur Agency, which was responsible for protecting the Bryansk gymnasium, where the shooting took place on December 7, to pre-trial detention until February 6.

He was charged with providing services that did not meet safety requirements, resulting in the death of two or more persons (Part 3 of Article 238 of the Criminal Code). The investigation claims that the student was able to bring a weapon to school because Poddubny did not provide security for the educational institution. In particular, the head of the organization did not ensure the installation of a metal detector and did not monitor the work of his subordinates.

On December 7, an eighth-grade student at Bryansk gymnasium No. 5, Alina Afanaskina, brought a hunting rifle that belonged to her father to school and opened fire on the students, killing one schoolgirl and wounding five more people. After this, Alina committed suicide.

Russian doctors demanded treatment for convicted ex-deputy Gorinov

Doctors wrote an open letter to Vladimir Putin demanding to provide the necessary medical assistance to former municipal deputy Alexei Gorinov, who is serving a sentence in a colony in the Vladimir region under the article about “fake news” about the army.

The letter states that Gorinov has a chronic lung disease, and his health condition has deteriorated significantly in the colony. Earlier, Gorinov’s lawyer reported that he had active bronchitis, fever, constant chills and difficulty breathing.

“This person’s condition is life-threatening and can quickly deteriorate,” the letter says. The doctors who signed it insist that Gorinov has signs of acute respiratory failure and a severe infection. They believe that politics requires hospitalization and a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic measures that are impossible outside the hospital.

“We ask you to take measures to ensure proper medical care for Alexei Gorinov, including his hospitalization in a specialized medical institution,” says the letter, which at the time of publication of the note was signed by more than 240 people.

Venezuela annexed part of neighboring Guyana

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has signed a total of six documents related to the annexation of Guyana's Essequibo region. They provide for the creation of a National Essequibo Defense Commission, as well as an integrated defense zone for the Guyana-Essequiba region. Maduro also signed a decree on the opening of the state oil and gas company PDVSA and the metallurgical conglomerate CVG in this territory.

In addition, the President of Venezuela approved a new map of the country, on which the annexed region is designated as part of the state, and appointed its leader.

Venezuela annexed part of Guyana, citing the results of its own referendum, which took place in the country on December 3. The annexation of the oil-rich region of Guyana was supported by more than 95% of Venezuelans who voted, authorities say.

In Yekaterinburg, security forces conducted a raid on a gay club

Police and riot police officers came to the Yekaterinburg gay club Fame. According to local media reports, security forces were looking for drugs and minors in the establishment.

The club's visitors had their passports checked and their details copied. The Yekaterinburg Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that the club sold alcohol without labeling - nine liters of such alcohol were seized and sent for examination.

On November 30, the Supreme Court of Russia upheld the claim of the Ministry of Justice, recognizing the non-existent “international LGBT movement” as extremist and banning its activities in the country.

The very next day, security forces conducted raids on several gay establishments in Moscow, and the oldest gay club in St. Petersburg, “Central Station,” announced its closure.
