Pyotr Ivanchikov, YABLOKOs activist and organiser of an
action against raising of penalties for rallies, will
to stand trial for oragnisation of an action.
After his detention he was held for in a local police department
for four hours (instead of the maximum three hours allowed
by law). He is incriminated violation of the established
order of oragnisation of a rally (Article 20.2 of the Administrative
Offences Code).
Ivanchikov is accused that the topic of the rally differed
with the topic agreed upon with the authorities. YABLOKO had
applied for a permission to conduct a rally stating the topic
of urgent elections of the Moscow Mayor, however, in light
of the events of raising penalties for rallies by the parliament,
YABLOKO changed the topic (such a change is not prohibited
by the law).
According to Ivanchikov, policemen's reports merely stated
that Nazis marches were played at YABLOKOs rally without
giving the course of such a comparison.
The trial will be held at precinct 423 of the Moscow magistrate
court on May 29 at 2 p.m.
