Days of united action in support of Kutuzov in Ufa

In Ufa in the days of united action in support of an activist of the Tyumen "Autonomous Action" Andrey Kutuzov (also known as Comrade. Kender) was a series of solidarity actions. Despite the fact that some of the facts of blatant lawlessness of the CPE against BP Ufa is not observed, we consider it our duty to support the fellow in the unequal struggle. Using the right to conduct single picketing without coordination with the City of Ufa, some activists of Autonomous Action, replacing in turn each other in the flowof two days spent solitary vigil 3rd and 5 th of February (we declared days of united action - from February 3 to 6) in the busiest parts of the city: near the stops "Dvor" and "Hotel" Bashkortostan ", as well as for k / m "Motherland" in front of the Prosecutor's Office and the FSB.

All events took place without incidents, arrests or problems with neo-Nazis were not.

Arbitrariness on the part of government officials, the center of the "E", the FSB is increasing every year.In the midst of camom trial Tyumen teacher and member of the "Autonomous Action" Andrey Kutuzov, who was accused of producing and distributing "extremist leaflets inciting hatred of a particular social group" militia. " In fact, it's harassment for criticizing the state and capitalism. Today tried it, tomorrow may start prosecution of any of us! The notion of "extremism" is given as a vague interpretation, so that they can be both terrorist acts and murder, hate, and any criticism of government officials.Due to such uncertainties in the law in recent times "extremist" articles of the Criminal Code (280, 282) are increasingly used to punish "hate speech" or "incitement to violence" in relation to various government agencies: the police, the FSB, the executive branch and m . etc.

By the bright things on today for "extremist" articles are the processes of the Tyumen teacher and anarchist Andrey Kutuzov and activists from Ulan-Ude Hope Nizovkinoy and Tatiana Stetsury.Thus, Russian law enforcement agencies the concept of "social group" is used to justify repression against civil society activists and opposition movements. But when such statements allow representatives of the Russian Federation (for example, calls for the vice-governor of the Vologda region, "the opposition to wind the track), then any" extremism "is not considered.This means that legally protected social groups we have considered only the state authorities. As befits a class state, laws on extremism are used to protect the power structures of discontent and criticism of society, as centers of "E" perform the functions of political police. We demand to withdraw from all government agencies and organizations specially protected status, and stop to consider their social group.We demand the deletion of Article 282 of the Criminal Code and the FZ-114 "On Countering Extremist Activities" concept "social group". Natural consequence of these corrections in legislation should be a complete cessation of cases Nizovkinoy, Stetsury and Kutuzov on rehabilitative grounds. However, it should be understood that these articles - just a convenient tool for political persecution. To pacify the unfit "extremists" are using other methods: they throw drugs, weapons, was sentenced to detention in psychiatric hospitals.Thus, the ultimate goal of our struggle must be the cessation of political persecution in any form or by any means.

No prosecutions for mysleprestupleniya! Yes - freedom of conscience and expression!
