18th of November an action against repression of anti-fascistswill take place at Metro Station "Novokucnetskaya" in Moscow. Action will begin 16:00, and will demand freedom for anti-fascist prisoner Aleksey Olesinov. Aleksey is imprisoned for more than 10 days already, and has been held incommunicado by authorities, his lawyer Stanislav Markelov has still not been allowed to meet with him. Health condition and conditions in which he is kept are not known to his relatives and friends. Friends of Olesinov are certain, that he is persecuted due to participation to anti-fascist activities.

Aleksei Olesinov was arrested 6th of November, and accused of "hooliganism", according to statue 213, second part of Russian criminal codex. Although he has never before faced criminal charges, he was remanded. Police motivated the decision to remand him with the fact that Olesinov is an anti-fascist activist.

Formal pretext for arrest is an insignificant fight which took place 30th of August between visitors of one of the Moscow clubs and security of the club. Nobody was wounded during the fight, Olesinov was arrested the same night close to the club, but eventually police who arrested him did not pressed even misdemeanor charges against him.

For unclear reason case of Olesinov is united with two felony investigations. Another of them is the murder case of anti-fascist activist Fyodor Filatov. It is possible, that police attempts to hide fact that investigation is doing nowhere by arresting one of the activists of the anti-fascist movement.

Case of Olesinov is under personal control of first vice-minister of internal affairs M.I.Suhodolskiy. It is rather unlikely, than an average case of "hooliganism" is under a personal control of first vice-minister of internal affairs.

Currently Olesinov is kept in remand prison of "Butyrka", but he was in a police prison for 6 days, which is a reason to believe that police tortured him there in order to gain information on workings of anti-fascist movement.  

Participators of the anti-fascist movement demand to stop violations of legal rights of Aleksey Olesinova, to give him an access to lawyer, and also to stop using murder of Fyodor Filatov to purposes which have nothing to do whatsoever with the murder investigation.
