A report was drawn up against Melnichenko for violating Menyailo's decree.
Police filed a report against Yulia Melnichenko for violating the decree of the head of North Ossetia on the procedure for holding public mass events, although the decree does not apply to solo pickets. Melnichenko was taken to court.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," today Mozdok resident Yulia Melnichenko picketed outside the North Ossetian prosecutor's office demanding an end to the repression against her family. Security forces took her to the police station.
On September 11, Mozdok resident Yulia Melnichenko picketed outside the Prosecutor General's Office in Moscow, after which she spent more than three hours in police custody. Melnichenko, who had previously unsuccessfully sought to open a case against her brother Rostislav for beating him by a security officer in Mozdok, faced threats and pressure from law enforcement. At a picket, she demanded an end to the repression. After the picket in Moscow, an FSB officer summoned Melnichenko for a meeting, informing her that no action would be taken on her complaints. The circumstances of the case of the beating of Melnichenko's brother by a security officer indicate gross violations, the lawyer confirmed.
Mozdok resident Yulia Melnikova, detained today for picketing outside the North Ossetian prosecutor's office demanding an end to the repression against her family, is still being held at the Iriston police station in Vladikavkaz, she told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. "They are drawing up a protocol against me under Article 20.6.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses ("Failure to comply with the rules of conduct during an emergency or the threat of one") on charges of violating the decree of the Head of North Ossetia banning mass events in Vladikavkaz, Ardonsky, Mozdoksky, and Pravoberezhny districts from July 27. However, the decree itself does not prohibit this. Only mass public events are prohibited," she said.
According to her, she did not experience any pressure or threats at the station. experienced, but the protocol took three hours to draw up, Yulia Melnichenko emphasized.
The administrative offense protocol (available to the "Caucasian Knot") states that Melnichenko "organized a solitary picket, thereby violating the requirements of the decree of the head of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania dated July 27, 2025, "On the prohibition of organizing and holding public mass events outside specially adapted stationary premises."
Melnichenko noted in the protocol that she did not agree with it. She reported that she was urgently taken to the Leninsky District Court of Vladikavkaz.
As a reminder, Mozdok resident Rostislav Melnichenko stated that in March 2019 he was beaten by a security officer and hospitalized with injuries. According to Melnichenko, the district police officer who witnessed the incident "did not stopped." The investigation repeatedly refused to open a criminal case for abuse of power by a law enforcement officer, citing the fact that Melnichenko himself attacked the security officer, who defended himself. After Yulia Melnichenko met with the head of the Investigative Committee, the department for especially important cases took over the investigation. In September 2019, Melnichenko and his sister came to the Government House with a poster about the equality of all nationalities before the law. Lawyer Andrei Sabinin then reported that they had already "received five refusal orders from the Investigative Committee."
The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that Melnichenko believes that the violations of her family's rights by government officials have a national motive - back in 2019, when the beating of Rostislav Melnichenko by a security officer was being investigated, they cited the family's Ukrainian origin. "The very first question the investigator asked me during interrogation was about "nationality," Melnichenko explained.
She said that her brother was beaten several more times, and the Mozdok District Prosecutor is demanding that Melnichenko's aunt take away the land that was allocated in 2021 for lifelong ownership for the construction of a house due to a lack of housing.
