A meeting of the residents of the West and North-West of
Moscow who oppose unlawfully seizure of Moscow beaches will
take place in Serebryanniy Bor on Thursday, May 31. The residents
will dismantle un unlawfully erected fence.
On May 28 YABLOKOs public inspection which also included
environmentalists and journalists managed to get inside the
fenced territory of the beach. (See
the photo report here.) The guard of the fenced beach
was unable tell the name of the owner of the beach, but
said that the place was a "barbecue site" for Federal
Security Service and Interior Ministry officers and their
families.
According to a real estate register, this area is listed as
a park, and is not under lease or sale, so it is still a free
public area and should not be fenced. The inspection also
revealed a gross violation of Article 6 of the Water Code.
The fence with barbed wire extends to the water's edge, while
the law envisages that a 20 meter wide line by the water edge
should be in common use.
The participants will gather at the Stroginsky bridge.
The meeting starts at 8 p.m.
