“Freedom for the May 6 prisoners" Picket

Basmanny District Court's sentence, on the 29th April, against Alexey Gaskarov: Gaskarov to be held in pretrial detention for two months.

On Friday, February 21, the Zamoskvoretsky Court in Moscow began announcing the verdict in the Bolotnaya case. The court found eight defendants guilty of participating in “mass riots” and attacking police officers. However, the verdict was not read to the end — an additional hearing was scheduled. Meanwhile, around 400 citizens gathered outside the courthouse (including political activists, opposition leader Alexei Navalny, and members of the band Pussy Riot). The police detained half of them: taking them to local precincts and issuing reports for violating regulations on public assemblies and pickets. All detainees were released shortly afterward. Lenta.doc observed the action near the courthouse.
