Participants of anti-war pickets are detained in the Far East

In the cities of the Far East, the participants of the pickets, timed to the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, are being detained.

In Khabarovsk, police officers detained activist Mykola Zodchey, who went on a picket with photos of President Vladimir Putin from Channel One. This was reported to Sibir.Real by one of the Khabarovsk activists. At the police station, Zodchim had a “prophylactic” conversation, after which he was released.

Earlier, Zodchego was detained for picketing against the change in the conscription age, in support of politician Ilya Yashin, against the law prohibiting “LGBT propaganda” and for the freedom of political prisoners.

A local resident was detained in Vladivostok, who went to the central square with an anti-war poster. He told OVD-Info about this. The man was taken to the police station No. 1, and after questioning, he was released without a criminal record.

• February 24 marks one hour since the beginning of the full-scale Russian military invasion of Ukraine. The hostilities continue. In Russia, after the beginning of the invasion, there were laws about so-called fakes and “discrediting” of the Russian army, which allow the persecution of citizens who publicly oppose the war.
