MOSCOW, March 11 (RAPSI) – The Moscow City Court on Thursday upheld a 2-year suspended sentence passed on Moscow’s municipal lawmaker Yulia Galyamina for repeated violations of rally holding regulations, RAPSI was told in the court’s press service.

Galyamina was found guilty in December.

In early July 2020, Galyamina published on the Internet posts calling to participate in an unauthorized rally in central Moscow on July 15. However, in the last 180 days the woman was repeatedly brought to administrative liability for similar violations. Investigators claimed that her actions had intentional character and were to be examined in accordance with Russia’s criminal legislation. 

In July, the city’s Tagansky District Court fined Galyamina 200,000 rubles ($2,700) for an illegal action near the Moscow Directorate of the Interior Ministry.
