Ukrainian court remands Sevastopol Self-Defense activist in custody
The meeting of the Court of Appeal of the Kherson Region regarding the consideration of the defense’s complaint about the court’s refusal to change the preventive measure for a participant in the “Sebastopol Self-Defense” did not take place due to the impossibility of organizing a video link between the lawyers and the court, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was reported by the press service of the Ukrainian prosecutor's office of the non-existent Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
“A member of the illegal armed group “Sebastopol Self-Defense” remains in custody. Today, due to the inability of the Solomensky District Court of Kiev to organize a video link between lawyers and the Court of Appeal of the Kherson Region, the court hearing to consider the lawyers’ complaint about the extension of detention and the refusal to change the preventive measure for a member of the illegal armed group R. did not take place,” the prosecutor’s office reported. .
The department recalled that on July 18, 2019, the Kherson City Court considered the defense petition of a Sevastopol Self-Defense participant, who was detained at the Kalanchak checkpoint on June 11, to change the preventive measure from detention to house arrest.
However, due to the existence of risks stated by the prosecutor’s office of the non-existent Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the court refused to change the preventive measure for the defense, the prosecutor’s office added.
