Moscow’s Tverskoy district court has arrested Anton Usov for 15 days on charges of “discreditation” of Russia’s Armed Forces and disobeying a police officer, independent Russian human rights project OVD-Info reports, citing the arrested man’s wife.
“He was detained in the afternoon of 12 October by traffic police agents — the reason for the detention was Usov allegedly listening to Ukrainian music in his car,” OVD-Info’s post says.
Initially, Usov was brought to a police department; two protocols against his actions were drawn up. After the court hearing, he was sent to serve his punishment in a special detention centre.
OVD-Info notes that Usov is a single father, seeing as his wife is not a legal guardian of his children. Usov has four dependent children, all younger than 18.
Yesterday, 12 October, a Saint Petersburg court sent a 60-year-old woman Irina Tsybaneva under house arrest for leaving a note on the grave of Vladimir Putin’s parents. A criminal case under article on abuse of corpses and places of their burial was initiated against her.
She said in court that she decided to leave the note after “watching the news and understanding that the things were terrible, that there were so many victims [of the Ukraine War].”
