MOSCOW Russian protest artist Pavel Krisevich has been
sent to pretrial detention over a so-called suicide performance in which he fired blanks from a pistol in Moscow s Red Square.
In a June 13 ruling, Moscow s Taganka district court ordered Krisevich to be held in pretrial detention for up to two months over his protest which used a modified handgun that could only fire blanks.
Krisevich was detained on June 11 on Moscow s Red Square and charged with hooliganism after he fired two blanks into the air while shouting: There will be shots before the Kremlin s curtain. He then held the gun to his head and fired another blank.
