The Lomonosov Court of the Leningrad Region dismissed an investigator's request to extend the detention of businessman Dmitry Skurikhin, who was arrested in the case of repeated "discrediting" of the Russian army (Article 280.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). This is reported by "Network Freedom".
Skurikhin has been in jail since February 26th. A day earlier, the activist was detained and sent to a temporary detention facility. On February 24, the anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine, Dmitry Skurikhin knelt down with a poster "Sorry, Ukraine" at his store in the village of Russko-Vysotskoye, Leningrad Region.
Skurikhin regularly posts labels critical of the Russian authorities on his store.
In May 2022, he was fined under an administrative article on "discrediting" the army, and then a criminal case was opened, accusing him of "repeated discrediting". The reason for this was the poster "Go to hell with your grave", which the activist also posted on his store. In this case, he was assigned a measure of restraint in the form of a ban on certain actions.
