Police detained ex-deputy of the city council Ivan Fedin in Omsk, representative of the Communist Party candidate Valentina Shostak in the village of Arkhipo-Osipovka and observer Denis Guryanov in Ulyanovsk at polling stations. OVD-Info drew attention to this.
As Fedin said in his Telegram channel, he was taken to police department No. 1 at Dmitriev, 1. The former deputy also published a video from the station, which shows fingers of the left hand with fresh wounds. “Comrades, this is how violence was used,” he explained the injury. What became the reason for Fedin’s arrest is still unknown.
Her colleague Ivan Shukshin reported Shostak’s arrest to OVD-Info. He clarified that the representative of the candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation was taken to the police department from PEC No. 0938. She was threatened with articles about interference in the work of the election commission (Article 5.69 of the Administrative Code) and disobedience to the demands of a police officer (Article 19.3 of the Administrative Code).
“So , in front of me on the phone, the police read out the words that if she did not obey and would not go with them to the station, she would be dragged away according to 19.3. The police are ignoring the requirement of the Federal Law that an observer can be removed from the station only by a court decision. The commission is criminals. The cops are stupid slackers,” Shostak wrote on Twitter.
According to Guryanov, he was detained at polling station No. 3939. The policeman in the video posted by the observer says that a complaint was received against the man under Article 5.69 of the Administrative Code. Guryanov said that during the first two days of the elections he “identified many violations” and was preparing for stuffing in the afternoon.
“In the end, instead of working on my proven complaints, the authorities did not come up with anything on how to concoct a leftist statement to the police,” added the Ulyanovsk resident.
Earlier today, Alla Laitaruk was detained at a polling station in the Moscow district of Perovo. The woman asked for a paper ballot and did not want to vote remotely. As a result, she was fined 500 rubles under the article on petty hooliganism (Article 20.1 of the Administrative Code), and then released, OVD-Info reports.
