Russisk politi anholder metalband for nazistiske t-shirts

Russisk politi har sent lørdag aften afbrudt en koncert med metalbandet Korrozija Metalla og anholdt tre af gruppens medlemmer for ifølge politiet at fremvise “nazisymboler”.

Det oplyser politikredsen i Niznij Novgorod, hvor koncerten fandt sted.

– Politiet har med støtte fra hjemmeværnet anholdt tre medlemmer af et band på et af Niznij Novgorods spillesteder, lyder det fra politiet.

De tre medlemmer, som er blevet anholdt, er 19, 42 og 57 år gamle.

Ifølge politikredsen i Niznij Novgorod er de blevet sigtet for “propaganda eller offentlig fremvisning af nazistiske beklædningsgenstande eller symboler.”

Politiet oplyser desuden, at det har beslaglagt t-shirts og bøger, som “fremviser forbudte symboler”.

Politiet præciserer ikke, hvilke forbudte symboler der er tale om.

Et sådant brud på loven medfører som regel bødestraf.

Gruppens manager, Maria Rounova, fortæller til nyhedsbureauet Tass, som er ejet og drives af den russiske stat, at de pågældende symboler er “gamle slaviske symboler”.

Korrozija Metalla er et kendt band i Rusland. Det har eksisteret siden 1980’erne.

Bandets sanger og bassist, Sergej Troitskij, som ifølge bandets hjemmeside også går under tilnavnet “Edderkoppen”, skriver på sociale medier, at bandets trommeslager er blevet lagt i koma, efter at han blev angrebet af “tre bøller”.

Flere har delt billeder på sociale medier af politiaktionen, hvor adskillige russiske politibetjente og ansatte fra hjemmeværnet stormer spillestedet og tvinger publikum til at lægge sig på gulvet.

Rusland invaderede Ukraine for mere end to år siden.

Siden da har den russiske regering i stigende grad strammet sit greb om ytringsfriheden og den politiske opposition.
