Lawyers pointed to the risk of Patyaeva's arrest after the picket in Grozny.
The protocol on repeated violations of the rules for holding public events may lead to a stricter punishment for Elena Patyaeva, including administrative arrest, lawyers indicated. In Chechnya, there is virtually no practice of solitary pickets, and a local participant in such an action and her family would face more severe consequences, noted Svetlana Gannushkina*.
