Politics                  Podivilov v. Russia              6 August 2023


   The European Court of Human Rights has communicated my complaint.

   This means that the complaint has met the eligibility criteria
   and that the court has agreed to examine the case on its merits.
   The ECHR has sent Russia a notification of my complaint.
   The complaint was communicated in a simplified manner and will be
   examined shortly according to established practice.

   On February 24th, the day Russia invaded Ukraine in an escalation
   of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014, I organised a solo
   picket in front of the Presidential Administration building in Moscow
   with a poster saying "Putin, stop the war with Ukraine."

   On March 31st, for this action, the Tverskoi district court in Moscow
   fined me 15,000 RUB, after which, on July 1st, the Moscow city court
   confirmed the fine.

   The organisation of solo pickets is not prohibited by law and does
   not require additional agreement with the authorities.
