Authorities in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk prohibited a planned presentation against restrictions on public protests, a local legislator leading the effort said Monday.Public events are not allowed throughout the unique military operation, which was revealed by Russian President Vladimir Putin on Feb.
24, 2022, Krasnoyarsk City Hall said in action to a demonstration petition.Officials likewise pointed out community work scheduled at the city square where the presentation was set to occur on March 25.
Alexei Boykov, a member of the Krasnoyarsk local legislature who had looked for approval for the demonstration, called the restriction unconstitutional.Conducting an unique military operation can not be a factor for this rejection by itself, Boykov wrote on Telegram.He implicated local authorities of hypocrisy, keeping in mind that they continue to arrange their own public events regardless of pointing out wartime restrictions to reject opposition rallies.
He stated he had actually asked district attorneys to examine the legality of the ban.I consider this response to be another insult and mockery of the law, stated Boykov, a member of the reactionary Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR).
Boykov initially sent the demonstration demand on behalf of animal rights activists who were formerly barred from showing against a federal costs enabling the euthanasia of stray dogs.
Officials cited Covid-19 constraints in turning down that demonstration.
