After the events of May 6 on Bolotnaya Square, when large-scale clashes between the demonstrating opposition and the OMON forces took place in Moscow, the State Duma forced the adoption of a new Federal Law "On Amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation" and amended the Federal Law "On Meetings, Rallies, demonstrations, processions and picketing”. The changes and the new law came into force on June 9, 2012.
Instructions
Step 1
It is assumed that the introduction of the new law will help to ensure the balance of the values enshrined in the Constitution, as well as the interests of the state and society. And although the right to freedom of assembly, rallies and demonstrations is spelled out in the main law, it has one significant limitation: such meetings must be held peacefully and without weapons. The law establishes new restrictions necessary to protect the rights and legitimate interests of citizens who peacefully express their opinion. A different degree of responsibility is provided for in the law for individuals, legal entities and officials.
Step 2
Fines for the organizers of the rally
The law provides for penalties for organizers of public events. The maximum amount will have to be paid to those who did not cope with the task of ensuring safety, which led to harm to the health of the participants. For citizens who are found guilty of this by the court, the maximum amount of the fine is 300 thousand rubles. However, it can be replaced by 200 hours of forced labor. An official accused of violating the law will pay up to 600 thousand rubles, and a legal one - from 500 thousand to 1 million rubles.
Step 3
In the event that everything will cost only by causing damage to property, an individual will be fined from 100 to 200 thousand rubles, an official - from 200 to 400, a legal entity - from 350 to 700 thousand rubles.
Step 4
In the case when the event did without such excesses, but during its holding the movement of pedestrians or vehicles was complicated, and also if it was necessary to involve additional law enforcement forces, the punishment will be softer. Citizens-organizers "get off" with fines from 30 to 50 thousand rubles or forced labor up to 100 hours, officials - from 50 to 100, legal - from 250 to 500 thousand rubles.
Step 5
If the organizers hold a rally without notifying the relevant authorities about it, an individual will have to pay from 20 to 30 thousand rubles to the state treasury or work 50 hours as a punishment in the form of compulsory work. An official in this situation will be punished with a fine in the amount of 20 to 40 thousand, a legal one - from 70 to 200 thousand rubles.
Step 6
Fines for rally participants
Ordinary participants who came to the rally to express their point of view will also be punished. The minimum punishment for violating the rules for citizens is from 10 to 20 thousand rubles or up to 40 hours of forced labor. An official will pay an amount from 15 to 30 thousand rubles, an organization - from 50 to 100 thousand rubles. If a participant harms someone's health or property, the amount of the fine will be from 150 to 300 thousand rubles, and the time of compulsory work - up to 200 hours.
Step 7
The punishment will be toughened by the fact of holding such public events in the immediate vicinity of dangerous objects. These include, for example, nuclear installations. An individual who is a participant in the rally in this case will not only pay a fine in the amount of 150 thousand to 300 thousand rubles, but may also be subjected to administrative arrest for 15 days.
Step 8
The punishment will be borne not only by the organizers and participants of the rallies, but also by those who hinder their holding or force them to participate in them. In this case, a citizen will pay from 10 to 20, and an official - from 30 to 50 thousand rubles.
