In Komi, pensioner in the list of extremists was taken away from the hospital and arrested
At night of October 15, FSB officers came to the hospital for asthma-stricken pensioner and veteran of labor Vladimir Bayev. He was urgently discharged, and the court, in the absence of a lawyer, placed him in a pre-trial detention center.
"The detention of a civil activist is the realization of revenge by law enforcement agencies against a person who was not afraid to speak out against the system. Vladimir Bayev rejects the attempts of the authorities to transfer the case from criminal to administrative ones (in connection with the decriminalization of Article 282), as he considers himself completely innocent!"— wrote the activists of the Town Hall Meeting of Komi.
Before his arrest, Bayev managed to phone his daughter, she told "7x7" that her father wore a tracking bracelet on his leg being under house arrest. According to her, Vladimir Bayev has a passport of the USSR, he does not consider himself a citizen of the Russian Federation and suffers from an oncology disease.
Activist Valentina Aralina told "7x7" that Bayev complained about the actions of investigators to the Prosecutor's office, the FSB and the Investigative Committee, but to no avail.
On the balcony of Bayev's apartment, his supporters hung a poster about the persecution of the pensioner.
According to activists, criminal cases on extremist articles were filed on 73-year-old Vladimir Bayev. Before the court's decision, he was included into the list of extremists of Rosfinmonitoring (No. 1415) and the accounts to which his pension was received were blocked.
According to" 7x7", Bayev wrote a post about Semitic peoples on vk.com. After the case was initiated, he was recognized not to leave, but in May 2019, he was transferred under house arrest.
