The activists were detained the day before and separated into three police departments: Moskovsky, Kommunarsky and Troitsky. According to human rights activists, the detainees are charged with disobedience to the demands of police officers (Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) and violation of the rules for participation in a public event (part 5 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).
After the protesters were taken to the departments, lawyers from OVD-Info went to see them. They managed to get to the detainees only after a few hours. The wife of one of the activists said that the staff did not allow her to give her husband, who suffers from coronary heart disease, food and medicine.
According to the telegram channel Readovka, about 500 people came out to protest yesterday against deforestation. In the video published in the same message, one of the protesters is heard shouting “the police are beating people”, slogans “shame on the occupiers” are heard. The footage also shows several people lying on the floor with police officers standing over them.
