Case No.\u00a074568\/12<\/strong>
\nJudgment date:\u00a05 January 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Frumkin, the applicant, was arrested by\u00a0the police during the dispersal of the 6 May\u00a02012 Bolotnaya Square demonstration against\u00a0alleged abuses and falsifications during the\u00a0November 2011 parliamentary and March\u00a02012 presidential elections. His detention in\u00a0police custody lasted at least 36 hours, following\u00a0which, on 8 May 2012, he was found\u00a0guilty of an administrative offence of disobeying\u00a0lawful police orders and sentenced to 15\u00a0days\u2019 administrative detention. His appeal was\u00a0dismissed by a district court, which upheld\u00a0the first-instance court judgment. Although\u00a0a notification of the demonstration had been\u00a0duly accepted by the relevant Moscow authorities\u00a0prior to the event and issues of security,\u00a0including the route of the march, had been\u00a0confirmed with the organisers, the area allotted\u00a0to the demonstration was altered without\u00a0appropriate notice and the police ordered an\u00a0early termination of the event. Subsequently,\u00a0the police dispersed the rally participants until\u00a0the area was fully cleared.<\/p>\n
