Police suspected of being too violent crackdown ' dissent ' in St. Petersburg

Petersburg, unlike Moscow, the only place of assembly the opposition to 31 of any month does not have: typically rallies in defense of the right to peaceful assembly and pass the arcade, and the Palace Square. So it was at this time, but the protesters under the windows of the Hermitage were few and were quiet, and therefore special attention to the police is not worthy.

Go to the arcade at the appointed time came more than a hundred people, where they were waiting riot police in flak jackets dresses. The police would not listen to the arguments of people with a little red book under the title ' Constitution ' in his hand and offered them instead of engaging in peaceful protest as peacefully disperse, as the permission to hold a meeting they had no. As usual, the journalists at the event was almost more than the participants, so that all events have been documented in detail, including the video.
In general, actions of the police it was difficult to name some of the extraordinary. Particularly active participants of the action more or less properly detained, taken under the arm - under his feet and dragged into a bus parked near. The public is complaining and required to observe the Constitution, the police asked for the megaphone to obey the lawful requirements of the law enforcement. Just as in Moscow, already accustomed to the annual meetings at Triumph.




The only, but quite noticeable exception was a lieutenant with the St. Petersburg police are not suitable for his harsh exterior white bracelet on his right hand. For bloggers, this accessory called a policeman ' pearl ', but did not become famous ensign ornament, and a brave and daring a fair diligence in carrying out their duties. Already at the end of the action, he walked past the confident gait of protesters and asked them not want anyone else to follow the bus for detainees. The form of the question does not fit to the appearance of the valiant police officer, warrant officer loudly uttered the phrase: ' Ferrets, b **! .

Those who wish to found. A young man in a bright T-shirt, a resident of St. Petersburg, Dmitry Semyonov, said some words to the policeman, who did not like ensign. With the words: ' Che they would not like it? ' .

Strategy 31.
The concept of rallies on the last day of each month, numbering 31 days, based on the unity of place, time and form of assembly. Proponents ' Strategies -31' act of compliance with the requirement of Article 31 of the Constitution, which guarantees citizens the right to mass gatherings for peaceful purposes. None of the shares in Moscow and St. Petersburg was not sanctioned by the authorities for various reasons. The organizers of the meeting at Triumph Square in Moscow are Eduard Limonov, Ludmila Alexeeva and Konstantin Kosyakin.

What is characteristic for Semenova stood up not only protesters, but police officers themselves - Ensign colleague tried to prevent the escalation of the conflict. Ensign Sam decided that enough opposition, and one blow, and dragged him to the bus. Earlier valiant policeman was marked by neutralizing the other participants of the rally, seizing her by the hair.

After a few hours after the rally ' pearl ensigns ' bowed in the blogosphere in every way, and Marina Litvinovich gave him the nickname of another scathing - ' Evsyukov '.

The St. Petersburg police department is already the beginning of August 4th official verification of the fact of the use of force during the dispersal of the rally. By that time, no statements from the victims of the police have not registered, so that a decision on the audit of the police department was taken on its own initiative, based on media reports and bloggers, which referred to the publication.

After exactly 20 days, the police reported the results of testing: the perpetrator is installed, he was reprimanded 'for lack of restraint and violation of the statute patrol '. The name of the ensign is not announced, we only know that he is a member of the regiment patrol police in St. Petersburg. The victim of his actions Semenov expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the inspection and noted that the police are now sure to make the appropriate conclusions. According to some reports, delinquent Ensign explained his behavior by the fact that ' ferret ' and ' gray mouse ' someone called out from the crowd it was his, and he could not refrain from answering.

The test, however, was not the end. August 25 it was announced that the Investigative Committee under the Prosecutor's Office filed criminal charges of exceeding the St. Petersburg police powers to disperse the rally July 31. Apparently, the reason for this was a complaint on the actions of the police Semenova, which he filed on August 7, that is, a week after the meeting. The number of suspects, however, the UPC has not yet established, but little difficulty, this procedure should not make.

Also in the UPC requested that the media and witnesses to provide photos and video of the meeting and the actions of the police. It is possible that now already famous, but still nameless ensign be added and the other suspects - in the video, there are other scenes depicting the use of excessive force by police officers. In comparison with the actions they warrant officer, however, pales.

In the end it turned out that the cultural capital, left behind with the implementation of Limonov ' Strategy 31 ', substantially ahead of Moscow in the legal sense. While journalists ' newspapers. py 'Alexander Artemev with mixed success trying to prove that a hand on his Triumph broke the police, but completely alien to the protest movements Sergei Mokhnatkin preparing to serve a term of two and a half years for assaulting a policeman in St. Petersburg plant makes to the police.

If you suddenly so happens that the case goes to court, and will not be closed ... Only after this is unlikely they will get permission to hold meetings at their discretion.
