Over the past holiday weekend, more than 350 people involved in the riots were brought to police stations in Moscow, of whom 319 were minors. It has been reported DEA News citing a law enforcement source.
It was recorded that some people had gas canisters, knives and airsoft guns on them, and everything was confiscated.
As the source explains, the riots began on February 23 after members of the Redan movement insulted “non-Slavic people” during a Telegram post. Thereupon, a group of children started fighting with another company at the Lubyanka metro station.
At one point, a canister was sprayed in the face of one of the combatants. As a result, law enforcement officials opened a criminal case on hooliganism, criminal charges were filed against three teenagers.
According to the agency, most of the detainees were released after checks and administrative reports were issued against the parents of 11 minors for not fulfilling their parenting duties.
Ekaterina Mizulina, Former Director of the Safer Internet League stated In his Telegram channel, the media should be banned from writing about PMC Redan, because this leads to the popularization of “fights and anti-social phenomena”.
