St Petersburg: “Fight Extremists, Not Activsts!”
April 5: young activists held several independent pickets at the main street of Saint Petersburg with the slogan “Fight extremists, not activists!” The action lasted about an hour and to everybody’s surprise local police didn’t interfere.
After multiple acts of terrorism occurred in Moscow subway on March 29, 2010 the Federal Security Service (domestic security agency of Russia) raised a question of gaining extra competences. Unfortunately, instead of tracking terrorists and defending the citizens from their activity police and special services spend their resources on fighting protesting civilians with OMON riot police, intentionally confusing NGOs with extremists.
The protest action team consisted of the activists of Oborona, the youth section of the Yabloko Party and the Russian Social Democrat Youth Union.
