Anti-fascist Pavel Krivonosov from Nizhni Novgorod needs help! ---- Last autumn, a 
longstanding case against Nizhni Novgorod anti-fascists was returned to investigation, and 
for a while it seemed like a final victory (see 
http://avtonom.org/en/author_columns/background-nizhni-novgorod-victory). ---- However, in 
contrary to these expectations, the case returned to court this spring and things do not 
look too good. ---- Pavel Krivonosov is one of the accused of the fabricated case. He is a 
social activist, a musician and anarchist. As the set-up has been going for a while, 
number of charges passed the statute of limitations and were tossed out from the court - 
political "extremist" charges included. ---- However, he is accused still according to 
part 2 of the statute 213 of the Russian criminal codex (hooliganism committed with a 
group of people), which carries a maximum sentence of 7 years in prison.

It is not doubt that this case was fabricated by Nizhni Novgorod
officers of Center of Counteraction Against Extremism (so-called
E-center). Even the Nazi victims of the assault could not recognise
Pavel as the assaulter. Prosecution has one single witness, a taxi
driver who is providing false testimony and claiming that assaulter was
Pavel. Pavel has an alibi, he was at work, and his employer has
testified to prove this. Case of Pavel has been substantiated with a
number of other expertises as well. It is obvious, that Pavel did not
committed this crime. Repressions against him are motivated solely by
his social activism. Currently he is in a need of money to finance legal
costs, and we are happy for any kind of help!
