After the play about Titiev, law enforcers inspect office of the HRC "Memorial"

Law enforcers drove spectators after the end of the play "Oyub" out of the office of the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial" under the pretext of inspecting the premises for searching an allegedly planted bomb. No bomb was found, said a source from the HRC.

On Wednesday, June 13, the Moscow office of the HRC "Memorial" hosted the first performance of the play "Oyub" performed by the Theatre.doc and dedicated to Oyub Titiev, the head of the Grozny office of the HRC "Memorial".

Oyub Titiev is under arrest since January 11 on charges of possessing marijuana. He denies his guilt and insists that the drug was planted on him by a law enforcer.

Initially, policemen arrived in the building of the Theatre.doc, where another play was in progress, and announced that the building could have been mined. Having learned from the theatre staff that they had received no threats, law enforcers went to the office of the HRC "Memorial". The play "Oyub" was over by that time, but spectators stayed inside intending to discuss the play.
