The Moscow Zamoskvoretsky Court ruled to expel the blogger and native of Tajikistan Ruslan Bobiev, who was detained because of a photo with the Basil’s Cathedral in the background. About it informs TASS with reference to the press service of the court.

“The court found Ruslan (according to his passport – Muzaffar) guilty under Part 1 of Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (disobedience to a lawful order of a police officer) and sentenced him to 10 days’ arrest with a fine of 5,000 rubles and administrative expulsion from the Russian Federation,” – said the press service.
