The chairman of the State Duma Committee for the Protection of the Family, Nina Ustenina, asked the Ministry of the Interior to look into the arrests of teenagers in Kitai Gorod in Moscow.
The deputy asked the head of the department, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, to clarify the goals and procedure of the attack, as well as the total number of detainees. She also requested data on the number of minors arrested. The committee needs to know how many people were released without registration and how many were subject to administrative protocols.
Ms. Ustanina noted that the committee had previously received information about illegal behavior by teenagers, including in Kitai-Gorod. However, the role of the parliament is not to exclude the "preventive work of the internal bodies", but to make it systematic and efficient, the deputy's letter states.
Earlier, the chief director of the Interior Ministry in Moscow called the attack a preemptive strike.
