Anti-fascist arrested in St. Petersburg
oi! - 20.07.2008 17:22

16th of July 22 year old anti-fascist Aleksei Bychin was arrested in St.
Petersburg. He is facing charges according to statute 111, part 1 of
Russian criminal codex (consciously causing grievous bodily harm). 18th of
July he was put to remand prison.


In night between 12th and 13th of June a group of around 20 anti-fascist
punks was hanging around in the city. Aleksei and his friend were behind
the main group. A group of two Nazi skinheads passed by them, they
throwing "sieg hail"-greetings. Aleksei understood, that Nazis were about
to attack him, as one of them was carrying a broken bottle. A fight
started, and Aleksei was forced to use knife against one of the attackers.
He wounded one of the Nazis with a knife, and fascists escaped. Eventually
it become known that one of the Nazis was a police officer.

In June and July St. Petersburg police was investing the case, using a
wide variety of illegal means. A number of punks from St. Petersburg and
surrounding areas were taken to "discussions" which lasted hours, no
protocols were made during these "discussions". People were threatened,
illegally detained after concerts, contents of mobile phones were
confiscated, police even set up false accounts in popular Russian social
networking site vkontakte.ru (a facebook copycat) in order to gather
information.

16th of July in St. Petersburg one anti-fascist punk was arrested while
leaving from home. He was taken to 76th police station in Mytinskaya
street 3, and chained to a battery for several hours. After this, he was
forced to call Aleksei Bichin and to propose him a meeting in the center
of the city. In this meeting, Aleksei was arrested and taken to 76th
police station. Police refused food and water, which friends of Aleksei
carried to police station. It is also worth of noticing that during
interrogation of one of the witnesses of the events in 76th police station
in 17th of July, police were drunken, announced that they are supporting
National-Socialism and were throwing sieg heil-greetings. Home of Aleksei
and his friend were searched as well.

We, friends and comrades of Aleksei are certain, that in fight during
night between 12th and 13th of July he was acting out of selfdefence. We
are supporting any means of resistance against Neonazism, direct and
physical action included. For us it is obvious, that government organs are
fed with nationalist mood, and while these tendencies are not outrooted,
we may not trust a single word from speeches of government officials for
tolerancy and against xenophobia.
