Eduard Limonov detained illegally
RUSSIA, Moscow. On July 12, a Moscow court found in favor of one of the leaders of the oppositional coalition "Another Russia", Eduard Limonov, regarding charges pressed concerning the "March of Dissent" held in Saint Petersburg on April 15. The court found no evidence of an administrative offense.
He had been charged according to Article 20.2 of the Code on Administrative Offenses, with "disturbing the peace, by conducting a meeting, demonstration, procession or by picketing" and Article 19.3 "insubordination to a legal order given by a police officer".
On May 28, a court cleared Eduard Limonov in an analogous case. He was charged with disruptions on Nevsky Prospekt during the "March of Dissent", according to the press-service of "Another of Russia".
