The city court of Shuya, Ivanovo Region, arrested blogger Sergey Veselov for 8 days. A report was drawn up on him on charges of organising an unauthorized action (Part 2 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation). Presumably, the detention is connected with the fact that Veselov told his subscribers about the action in support of Alexey Navalny on June 4.
