The Case
The case is against veterans of the "Azov" regiment Serhiy Tamarin, Yuriy Kaplyu and Oleksandr Demydov.
On March 12, 2020, veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war disrupted the event of the then adviser to the Secretary of the National Security Council Serhiy Sivoho under the name "National Platform of Reconciliation and Unity" and expelled him from the "Parkovy" KEC. When leaving the hall, during the incident Sivoho lost his balance and ended up on the floor. Veterans of the "Azov" regiment were accused of this Serhiy Tamarin, Yuriy Kaplyu and Oleksandr Demydov.
They are suspected of hooliganism under part 4 of Art. 296 of the Criminal Code (Actions provided for by parts one, two or three of this article, if they are committed with the use of firearms or cold weapons or other objects specially adapted or prepared in advance for inflicting bodily harm). Azov veterans face up to 5 years in prison.
On March 13, preventive measures were chosen for the detainees: Volkova - 24-hour house arrest, Tamarin and Kapla - personal commitment.
The Pechersk District Court of Kyiv postponed consideration of the merits of the case until January 21.
In addition, the war veterans also sent a notification to the Security Service of Ukraine about the commission of treason by Sivokha, as he initiated the collaborative action. According to the activists, any attempts to "establish a dialogue" with representatives of the occupation administrations and persons who contribute to the illegal occupation of the territory of Ukraine are treason.
