Alexander told the court that on the evening of October 30, 2021, he went to the grocery store. At that time, he was wearing wireless headphones, on the sides of which there were stickers in the form of the coat of arms «Chase», which he bought about three years ago.
The policeman decided that he was illegally picketing and decided to detain him, despite the fact that he was on the weekend and in a civilian uniform.
Sokolovsky, when a local policeman approached him in the yard, thought that he was being attacked — there was a scuffle.
A man was detained and arrested for 15 days for an illegal picket with headphones in a store, and then a criminal case was opened against him for resisting a police officer.
According to human rights activists, he will be released in 2023 upon expiration of his sentence.
