Law enforcement agencies have detained a member of the Pussy Riot group Maria Alekhina in Moscow for an action against police violence "Beware, fragile!" According to the activist, this was her best detention. The police officers, Alekhina said in an interview with the Daily Storm, did not use force against her and behaved very politely: “the door to the car was opened, a hand was given, the music was turned on all the way”.
"The best detention, the most fun episode!" - shared her impressions of Alekhine.
A member of Pussy Riot said that she was stopped today after she left a friend. Prior to that, the police officers tried to detain her three times, but the girl managed to get away from them.
“We have escaped from them three times before. And they put their own cars at each of the apartments, cut off the electricity and so on. But we got out anyway. Today we agreed with the lawyer in advance to go out, but finally decided to troll them one more time - to roll out the empty suitcase. They tried to search him. Later we shouted to them from the balcony that we weren’t doing the same thing twice. We still have some kind of fantasy. , - said Alekhina.
"Before that, we took me away in a suitcase, went out in supermen's clothes, and they also did not understand anything.", - added the activist.
The law enforcement officers, Alekhina noted, behaved very politely during the arrest: “They did not touch me with a finger, they opened the door to the car, gave me their hand, played the music all the way.”
“We had four days of great adventures, trips around Moscow, fun meetings with friends and artists. In general, rest after the action. The coolest thing to do in circumstances when you are definitely detained, - to do it the way you want, not the way they do , - summed up the member of Pussy Riot.
On November 28, 2020, Maria Alekhina, Margarita Flores and Farhad Israfilli-Gelman held a rally against police violence. Girls dressed in kokoshniks and traditional Russian dresses tied the artist in the uniform of an OMON officer with tape to a lamppost in the center of Moscow. "We are against torture, violence and brutal aggression on the part of workers and women of the police system", - said Alekhina, commenting on the action.
Alekhina, Flores and Israfilli-Guelman have already been detained twice in November. According to the Pussy Riot members, both arrests were gratuitous. They were detained in the same clothes that they had used for the November 28 rally. "Draw up a protocol under 3.18 Administrative Code [Moscow] , like we were without masks. But we had masks "Alekhina said in an interview with the Daily Storm on November 4. On November 10, the artists were also detained and tried to confiscate kokoshniks and dresses from the girls.
