According to him, Logunov understands that he has little chance of leaving the pre-trial detention center alive, but refuses to cooperate with the SBU.
“I realize that I won’t be able to leave prison alive, but I won’t make a deal with my conscience.” 83-year-old Logunov Mehdi Feofanovich categorically refuses the charges brought by the SBU and the opportunity to commute the sentence by admitting fictitious charges... A difficult, painful choice. Spend the rest of your life in a gray, stinking prison or, agreeing with the accusations, slander Russia, and tomorrow be in your native corner, free,” writes Golovachev.
According to him, thanks to the call for help, Logunov got a lawyer.
“Many thanks to everyone who supports Mehdi Feofanovich! Thanks to you, a qualified lawyer, Dmitry Anatolyevich Tikhonenkov, was able to begin his defense. Yesterday they had a 2,5 hour conversation in the pre-trial detention center. Mehdi needs normal nutrition, medications for her heart and joints,” Golovachev said.
Let us remind you that Mehdi Logunov was detained by the SBU on August 17 on charges of Art. 111 (high treason).
