At the moment:
1) The ACF office (Anti-Corruption Foundation) remains blocked by police officers. Even though it has been sealed off, unknown people are moving around inside the office at night. We have appealed the police’s unlawful actions to the prosecutor’s office under Article 124 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Today we are also challenging them in the Basmanny District Court.
2) Thirteen people are under administrative arrest — employees and volunteers of the foundation, as well as members of the film crew that helped with the March 26 livestream. The members of the film crew have no connection to ACF at all and were only providing technical support:
– Ruslan Ablyakimov, in charge of HR for Navalny’s campaign — 7 days (Ruslan was sentenced only this morning; he spent two nights at the police station)
– Oksana Baulina, a ACF employee responsible for the livestream — 7 days
