The Yekaterinburg court imposed eight days of administrative arrest on local resident Albert Yakupov, who was detained on February 10 for laying flowers at the Black Tulip war memorial. His lawyer Ildar Sadykov told Itʼs My City regarding this.
Yakupov was found guilty of organizing a public event without submitting notification of its holding (Part 2 of Article 20.2 of the Administrative Code). The administrative protocol stated that he called on residents of Yekaterinburg to come to an unauthorized picket at the Black Tulip to “express their demand for complete demobilization and the end of the special military operation.” Yakupov was considered the organizer of the picket, since he left several messages in telegram chats regarding the date, time and place of the meeting of the participants.
As human rights activists reported, a total of five people were detained at the flower-laying rally at the Black Tulip in Yekaterinburg on February 10. In addition to Yakupov, these are Polina Bereskina, Natalya and Elizaveta Kazantsev and Ivan Bukin. Administrative protocols were drawn up once morest the women for violating the rules of participation in a public event (Part 5 of Article 20.2 of the Administrative Code). Bukin was released without a protocol. Yakupov was left overnight in the pre-trial detention center.
Actions with laying flowers at war memorials are held on Saturdays throughout Russia by participants in the “Way Home” movement of relatives of mobilized people. They demand the cancellation of the decree on “partial mobilization” and the return of those called up from the war in Ukraine.
On February 3, relatives of those mobilized held a flower-laying action in Moscow near the walls of the Kremlin, timed to coincide with the 500th day of mobilization. Then security forces detained 27 people, mostly human rights activists and journalists who came to cover the action.
