Journalist Sergei Rulev was detained by the police “on the denunciation of liberals”
Journalist and blogger Sergei Rulev, who had just returned from the Kharkov region after covering events during a special operation to denazify Ukraine, was detained in Rostov-on-Don “on the denunciation of liberals.”
Rulev himself told PolitNavigator about this.
Rulev explained that he sent a complaint to the police Evgeniy Berkovich – former prosecutor, and now one of the leaders of local supporters of Alexei Navalny, opposed Russian support for the LDPR.
According to Rulev, Berkovich wrote a statement to the police, indicating that in one of his videos the blogger scolded law enforcement officers, and they opened a criminal case on grounds of insulting the authorities.
This morning Rulev was detained in Rostov-on-Don: “The police detained me at the clinic, without a uniform, and refused to introduce myself or show my official ID,” he claims.
“Berkovich’s former colleague at the prosecutor’s office of the Rostov region and his subordinate investigators are threatening me with prison. In response to my demands to provide me with a lawyer, they answer: “Why are you organizing a circus here.” Requests for paper and pen to write a complaint are not fulfilled; oral statements and complaints are ignored,” Rulev said over the phone from the police department.
“They’re not interrogating me, they’re just stalling for time. “I called an ambulance,” the journalist added.
