Today on September 1, the court of the first instance will
examine the cases of five YABLOKO’s activists accused in unsanctioned
picketing at the Red Square.
On August 16 the police detained nine activists of the YABLOKO
party collecting signatures (required for registration of
the party in the Moscow City Duma election) at the Red Square.
Six activists were accused in unsanctioned picketing and three
are charged with resisting police. The court sent the former
three cases back to the police department due to grave procedural
infractions.
The case of marina Sergutina will be examined at 2.30 p.m.
and the hearing of the cases of Vadim Vaschenko, Olga Vlasova,
Alexei Kozhin and Mixim Kruglov are appointed at 4 p.m.
The hearings of Varvara Senmyokhina (activist of the Youth
YABLOKO) will continue on September 8. On August 25 the court
examined Varvara’s testimony and testimonies of the defence
(Sergei Mitrokhin inclusive). On August 28 the court heard
the testimonies of the plaintiffs – the policemen from the
Kitai-Grord police department, who first could not recognize
the defendant and then gave testimonies that she was the person
they had detained at the Red Square.
