Law enforcers release Adler resident detained for pacifist sticker

Policemen have detained a resident of Adler because of a pacifist sticker on his car; they demanded to remove the sticker and released him without drawing up a protocol.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on March 4, 2022, administrative liability was introduced for discrediting the Russian Armed Forces; and they began punishing commentators in social networks and participants in pacifist actions under the new article. Thus, in November, the court fined Ivan Tsikunov, a resident of Slavyansk-on-Kuban.

Policemen have detained Alexander Gorelov because of a pacifist sticker on his car. They came to his house and took him to the local police station, not allowing him to put on a jacket and take any things with him. At the station, they demanded from him to get photographed, and then they released him without drawing up a protocol, the "OVD-Info"* human rights project has reported.
