According to the agency, a total of eight people were detained on Petrovka, including Felgenhauer, Smirnova, Vasyunin, Alexander Plushev, the editor-in-chief of the publication “Such cases” Anastasia Lotareva, writer Alisa Ganieva, journalist Viktoria Ivleva and the leading TV channel Rain, Mikhail Fishman.
The detainees went on a picket with posters in support of the journalist Ilya Azar, who had previously been arrested for 15 days: he also held a picket in support of the administrator of the public “Police Ombudsman” Vladimir Vorontsov.
“I went, having issued a special one-time pass, allowing Muscovites to travel twice a week for personal purposes. The purpose of my trip from home to Petrovka I indicated a "picket". I was wearing a mask and gloves. In my hands I had a poster “Observe 20.2”, that is, I decided to advocate compliance with the legislation on rallies, pickets and other forms of demonstration in the capital, taking into account the restrictions that were adopted. I was detained almost immediately by the on-duty group of police officers, ”said Vasyunin.
Currently, he is in a police station near the Zamoskvorechye police department.
“I’m waiting for my turn to draw up the protocol,” an RT journalist explained.
According to attorney Sergei Badamshin, Tatyana Felgenhauer is currently released after compiling the protocols.
The creator of the public “Police Ombudsman” was arrested on May 8 in the case of extorting 300 thousand rubles from a former police officer in the capital.
He was charged with extortion.
