13.9.2005 14:19 MSK Demand for Putin’s resignation is considered extremism Roman Dobrokhotov Roman Dobrokhotov RUSSIA, Moscow. The prefecture of the central region of Moscow refused to allow the movement "We" to conduct a picket on September 11th demanding the resignation of Vladimir Putin. The refusal was issued because the call for the resignation of Putin is allegedly extremist.
On September 11th, activists of "We", members of the Ukrainian movement "Time", the Kirghiz movement "Birge!", Kazakhstan’s "Kakhara", Azerbaijan’s "Yokha" and the Belorussian movement "Mladodemokraty" walked to the monument to the heroes of Plevny in Ilinskiy Square with flags and without transparencies. The mouths of the youth movement participants were glued as a sign of protest against media censorship. The leader of "We", Roman Dobrokhotov, was detained.
Dobrokhotov is currently being held in the police department.
This is not the first time city authorities have, under different pretexts, prevented the activists of “We” from conducting demonstrations, according to a press release issued by the movement. Roman Dobrokhotov reported to a correspondent of PRIMA -.News that "We" is preparing to take action in court against the prefecture of the central region in connection with its illegal refusal of their picketing. He reported that the refusal in connection with “extremist" slogans was given verbally. According to Dobrokhotov, in court the representatives of the prefecture will not insist on the theme of extremism, but will refer to formal inaccuracies in the request for the demonstration permit. Picketing was not mentioned in the document, but a procession was.
Dobrokhotov also intends to take action against the police for illegal detention.
