In Stavropol, Alexei Navalny's office attacked; its laptops seized

This night, in Stavropol, a bottle with a combustible mixture has been thrown to a building of Alexei Navalny's campaign office.

At 1:33 a.m. Moscow time, an alarm signal about an incident in the building where Alexei Navalny's campaign office was located went to the security guard point. This was reported by Yaroslav Sinyugin, a coordinator of Alexei Navalny's office in Stavropol.

Yaroslav Sinyugin has made a video record from the place, which shows the consequences of a night attack: the glass door is broken, as well as the glass wall of the building, on which ground floor Alexei Navalny's Stavropol office is located.

Later, it became known that the events in Alexei Navalny's office with involvement of law enforcers ended with the seizure of laptops.

"All senior law enforcers arrived to the place, dozens of law enforcers. And all of them wanted only one thing: to let them get into the office," Leonid Volkov, the head of the pre-election office of Alexei Navalny, wrote on his Facebook page. And he continued: "We didn't like it very much. We waited until advocates arrived, and our volunteers came as witnesses. We let the law enforcers enter the office (and we could not prevent that, since they were to examine the place of the incident). And what did they do first? Perhaps, they started to look for fingerprints on the bottle? Did they begin to take samples of liquid? Of course, you did guess right: they seized the laptops from the office."

The information about the seizure of laptops has been confirmed by Ilya Andreev, a volunteer of the Alexei Navalny's office in Stavropol. According to him, police officers in civilian clothes seized three laptops from the Alexei Navalny's office, a router and "one more device explaining that they needed to check whether they had recorded video from the cameras installed in Alexei Navalny's office, the "Mediazone" reports.
