Charity concert in support of Evgeny Vitishko conducted in Sochi
Press Release, 12.03.2014
A concert in support of Evgeny Vitishko took place in Sochi. His friends and colleagues gathered in an informal setting.The event took place despite the pressure on behalf of the authorities, said the organisers.
YABLOKO’s and civil activists have been protesting against Vitishko’s prosecution for several years. But very often the activists become victims of the arbitrary rule. This way Sochi’s civil activist David Khakim was arrested for a one-person picket on the day when a sentence to Vitishko was announced.
The activists plan to conduct different actions in support of Vitishko to attract public attention to his case and release him despite all the difficulties made by the authorities.
Earlier Evgeny Vitishko was convicted of so-called case of the “damage to a fence” in the country cottage of Krasnodar Governor Alexander Tkachyov and sentenced to three years in a penal colony
