Trans-Ukrainian liberals were tied up in Moscow
In Moscow, the police detained more than 10 participants in the trans-Ukrainian picket near the FSB building on Lubyanka Square, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The action was presented as “anti-war”, which corresponds to the theses of Ukrainian propaganda about the “aggressor country”, etc. The participants unfurled a poster demanding that Vladimir Putin “release the Ukrainian sailors.”
One of the detainees told sympathetic liberal journalists that after the arrest the police demanded to know the passwords for the mobile phone. After the refusal, the phone was broken in half.
“On December 16 in Moscow, along the traditional route from Pushkinskaya to Sakharov, the “March for Peace” was supposed to take place. Against violence”, dedicated to the anti-war theme and the tyranny of the security forces within the country.
The authorities not only put forward a mocking proposal to move the action to the outskirts of the city, but also arrested in advance one of its most active organizers, elderly human rights activist Lev Ponomarev, thus effectively disrupting the event...
We, representatives of the Moscow protest movement, believe that we have something to gather for and something to discuss. The problems that the failed March for Peace planned to raise have not been resolved, and affect each of us directly...
We are anxiously following the development of the situation in the Kerch Strait and the escalation of military hysteria, the fate of Ukrainian sailors and Ukrainian political prisoners: Oleg Sentsov and dozens of others,” the announcement of the action said.
