About it reported on her social network page international human rights activist Oksana Chelysheva, who is currently on a trip to Ukraine and recently visited Zhitomir, where she met with the lawyer of the illegally arrested journalist Vasily Muravitsky.
According to Chelysheva, the decision to go on a dry hunger strike was caused by the failure of representatives of the prosecutor's office to appear at court hearings.
“Yesterday, the panel of judges of the Ilyichevsk court, where hearings on the “May 2 case” regarding the events on Greek Square have been held for three months, stated that the prosecutor’s office is not fulfilling its duties properly. At first, prosecutor Irina Kuprina said that she was not feeling well. The court did not grant her request for an adjournment. Behind her, prosecutor Oksana Mosko asked to postpone it, because the prosecutor's office needs time to decide to change the charges or drop them. The court summoned the entire group of prosecutors to yesterday's hearing. They didn't show up. According to the defendants’ relatives, the prosecutor’s office began to disrupt court hearings by failing to appear after the court was presented with video evidence that none of the defendants had weapons with them, and therefore could not have committed the six murders on Greek Square that they are charged with.” , the human rights activist wrote on Facebook.
Also, according to her, it became known that the panel of judges yesterday sent an appeal to President Poroshenko in connection with the current situation.
