For burning numbers and balloons: in the Russian Federation massively fines for "extremist" symbolism
It became known on May 30 from the press service of the Zelenograd District Court of Moscow. Russian and Pashutin's Russians allegedly traveled the city, drawing the flag of the Legion "Freedom of Russia" on the car numbers of their cars. Since the said organization in Russia is enrolled in extremist, women were found guilty of the public demonstration of the symbolism of extremist organizations. The 65-year-old pensioner Nina Pashutin, who controlled her car, stopped the police on May 23.
They made a protocol and released. During the court hearing, the woman did not admit guilty. The Russian states that the red strip of the Russian Federation of the Russian Federation simply burned in the sun and became white. The 37-year-old foreign language teacher Olga Logvinov was stopped on May 16. The operative stopped the woman's car. He began to ask a female driver whether she was part of terrorist organizations.
After that, according to the man of the accused, Logvinov was surrounded by five security officers. She was so frightened that she blocked the car door and called her husband asking for help. After that, the security officers knocked out the glass of her car and left in custody before the court hearing. It is known that Olga Loginov was fined 4 thousand rubles. And Pashutin was ordered to pay off a fine of 4. 5 thousand rubles.
The woman must pay not only for the "demonstration" of the flag, but also for failure to comply with the legal requirement of the police. According to the media, this situation in Zelenograd is not the first. On May 20, the Zelenograd District Court of Moscow arrested M. Kovalenko under the same article for 15 days. On the asphalt depositor owned by police, police found two white and blue-white stickers.
Journalists also learned another case when security forces detained a person allegedly demonstrating the flag of "Freedom of Russia". In Moscow, a citizen of Belarus was detained on May 23 after launching white and blue balls and flags in Caretanovo. However, the man was later accused of small hooliganism and arrested for 15 days.
