Courts in Kabardino-Balkaria reject complaint against arrest of anti-war picket participant

The Nalchik City Court, and then the Supreme Court of the KBR, rejected the complaint of Pavel Ulibegov, who in March went on a solo picket at the entrance to the Government House of the Republic. In his hands he held a poster "No to war", for which he was arrested for five days. This was reported by the Center for the Protection of Human Rights "Memorial".

Shortly after the picket began, a police officer approached Ulibegov and asked for his documents. He was detained. He claims that the inspection took place without a protocol and witnesses. The security forces asked absurd questions, including whether he had foreign funding. Ulibegov's phone was taken away and not given back until the trial, so he could not call a lawyer.

On the same day, Pavel was found guilty and arrested for five days. The Supreme Court of Kabardino-Balkaria upheld the decision of the Nalchik City Court, rejecting Ulibegov's complaint.
