“It turns out that it is enough to make a statement to the police, bringing three false witnesses, and any person will face up to 15 days of administrative arrest under Part 1 of Article 20.1 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation. Is this a new way of fighting objective journalists? Yes, I criticized Shaportov a lot for poor supervision by the department of municipal control. Well, let's defend ourselves and fight for the truth in court!”,- the message says.
