Formula One has announced that it will not race in Russia this year, after the country launched an invasion of Ukraine
Kremlin says Russians "do not have the right to organize protest actions" without permissionPolice officers detain a demonstrator during a protest against Russia's invasion of Ukraine in Moscow on February 24.
“Under the law, without following the appropriate procedures, these citizens do not have the right to organize protest actions in order to express their point of view,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said during a conference call with foreign journalists. Under Russian law, large demonstrations require protesters apply for a permit, which has to be submitted no more than 15 but no less than 10 days before the event. Heavy fines -- and in some cases even prison time -- can be imposed on those who protest without a permit.
“There are single pickets, but such… well, I would not say mass events… but events with the participation of a certain number of people - they are simply not allowed by law. And therefore, certain measures were taken against them,” Peskov added.
