Member of Third Way NGO beaten
Press Release, 23.04.2014
Member of the Third Way NGO Maxim Alexeyev has been beaten just now. He is hospitalized with suspected leg fracture. 
He was beaten at the Third Way’s premises. The organisation was forced to leave the building a few months ago. Maxim Alexeyev came to check the safety of the NGO’s property.
Private security guards and workmen who reconstructed the building took Alexeyev out by force and continued to beat him outdoors. At the moment the name of only one of them is known – Dmitry Bespalov, the foreman.
YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin arrived at the place immediately. He helped to get the injured into the ambulance car and called the police.
The eviction of the Third Way NGO takes place despite the court decision which states it could be done only after another premises for the NGO are provided.
