Wieder Repressionen gegen Antifas in Russland
Seit spätestens 2008 nimmt die Kriminalisierung von antifaschistisch tätigen Menschen in Russland immer größere Ausmaße an, diesmal werden drei Leute aus Izhevsk von den Behörden verfolgt. Sorry, erstmal nur auf Englisch, vieleicht schafft das jemand zu übersetzen in den Kommentaren.
*No to repressions against anti-fascists of Izhevsk, Russia**!*
In Izhevsk, Department of Counteraction Against Extremism (CPE, formerly
Administration on Fight with Organised Crime UBOP) once againt framed up
a criminal case against anti-fascist movement.
This is just the latest episode in a chain of repressions against
anti-fascists, which started in 2008 - during a year more than 80 people
have been illegally detained for various reasons, five criminal cases
have been opened, but in four charges cases were closed as "crime had
not taken place".
While investigating these cases, officers of UBOP were using a variety
of illegal means. Witnesses and accused were targeted with verbal and
psychological abuse, there were number of cases with anti-fascists being
tortured and threatened. In all of the criminal cases, announced
"victims" were Nazis, who were in trouble with the law - in practice all
of them were facing felony charges for "hooliganism", "causing physical
harm", "vandalism" and other statues of Russian criminal codex.
New criminal case is against three anti-fascists, who are facing charges
according to statute 213 part 2 of Russian criminal codex (hooliganism,
perpetrated with a group with a prior planning). According to
investigation, accused participated to a fight with Nazis 4th of March
2009 in proximity of movie theater "Druzhba". All of the accused have
sound alibis, but this does not bother investigators - real reason of
the prosecution is that all of the accused are members of the
anti-fascist movement in Izhevsk. In 2008, against one of the accused
faced three felony charges, but all of those charges were later dropped.
All of the "victims" of the new case are Nazis, infamous in Izhevsk - A.
Paramygin ("Anton-nebon"), M. Volkov ("Wolf") and A. Agafonov (Esaul).
All of the three have participated to attacks against anti-fascists, in
August of 2006 they attacked against one of the defendants of the case,
Aleksander M., who wounded his hand, in 2007 they attacked D. Safronova,
who suffered serious wounds to his lungs.
Currently anti-fascists are risking a prison sentence of up to 7 years.
Solidarity and material aid is necessary to provide them with lawyers.

First episode of new felony case was arrest of Aleksander M. 5th of may,
around 6 AM when he was on his way to wor, he was arrested on his way to
work by Center of Counteraction Against Extremism. After arrest, he was
taken to building of CPE (former UBOP) at Repin street 31.
First he was put under pressure by CPE officers, who verbally abused him
for several hours, then a number of investigation procedures were
orgnanised - confrontations with witnesses and identifications, which
were continued the whole day. He was held owernight, and taken back to
CPE until around 3 PM the next day.
During all this time, he was not given any food.
6th of may, there was a court as police attempted to remand Aleksander,
using means such as falsification of the interrogation protocols and
other dirty means, but eventually judge did not agreed to remand him,
but instead released Aleksander with travelling restrictions.
It is very tendentious, that police wants to remand an anti-fascists,
whereas almost all Izhevsk Nazis facing felony charges are out waiting
court. Amongst more than ten Izhevsk Nazis, who are facing felony
charges of attacking anti-fascists with arms and causing grievous bodily
harm 23rd of September 2008 at river Karlutka and 29th of November 2008
in proximity of DK "Reduktor", only one is remanded and all others are
free waiting for their courts.
13th of May around 8 AM on his way to work Andrey P. was arrested and
taken to CPE. All day under 7 PM he was under investigation,
confrontations with witnesses and identifications were organised. 15th
of May one more anti-fascist Mark K. passed the same procedures, both of
them are now free waiting for the court.

Am 15.5.2009 wurde in Novosibirsk der bekannte Künstler Artjom Loskutov verhaftet. Artjom ist seit Jahren als junger Künstler überregional und vor allem auch politische engagiert. Seit einiger Zeit ist er Repressionen ausgesetzt, die nun in seiner Verhaftung mündeten.
Artjom hat einige politische Künstler-Gruppe mitbegründet, ist Ideengeber für viele kreative gesellschaftsanalytische Kunst-Aktionen, nahm an der berühmten „Monstration“ teil und engagiert sich in deutsch-russischen Projekten.
Chronologie
Verhaftung am 15.5.09
Bereits am 1. Mai wurde Loskutov vor der diesjährigen
„Monstration“ durch die Polizei zu einem "präventiven
Gespräch" vorgeladen und musste mehre Stunden auf dem
Polizeirevier verbringen. In den Vorjahren wurde er als
mutmaßlicher Organisator der „Monstration“ sogar verhaftet.
Im Zuge des Gesprächen versprach er keinerlei Aktionen zu
organsieren und hiel sich von den öffentlichen
Meinungsbekundungen fern.
Am 15.5. morgens wurde er vom Leiter des „Zentrums zur
Bekämpfung von Extremismus“, Sergej Aleksandrowitsch,
telefonisch zu einen erneuten Gespräch zur Polizei zitiert.
Artjom lehnte dies mit der Begründung ab, dass er an diesem
Tag von 9-18 Uhr arbeiten müsse und Diplomvorverteidigung
habe. Für eine Freistellung bräuche er eine schriftlichen
Vorladung unter Angabe der Gründe, wie es das russische
Gesetz verlangt. Daraufhin drohte ihm der Polizist am Telefon
unfreundlich mit der Abholung von der Arbeit per „Auto mit
Hund“. Auf der Arbeitsstelle wurde angerufen, die Abholung
blieb aber aus.
Auf dem Weg von der Arbeit nach Hause wurde er Freitag
Abend auf offener Straße von drei Beamten der Polizei in Zivil
angehalten und mit der Begründung, eine Straftat begangen zu
haben, in Handschellen gelegt.
Die weitere Chronologie hier nachzulesen:
Mindestens 20 Festnahmen bei Kundgebung
Die Moskauer Polizei hat eine nicht genehmigte Kundgebung gegen Ministerpräsident Wladimir Putin schon nach kurzer Zeit aufgelöst. Kurz nach Beginn der von der Opposition organisierten Demonstration auf dem Triumphalnaja-Platz nahm sie nach Angaben einer AFP-Reporterin rund 20 Teilnehmer fest, darunter auch den Chef der Nationalbolschewistischen Partei Russlands, Eduard Limonow. Die Nachrichtenagentur Ria Nowosti meldete knapp 30 Festnahmen. Nach Angaben der Polizei hatten die Demonstranten versucht, eine der Hauptverkehrsadern in der russischen Hauptstadt zu blockieren.
