Passive voice

The Krasnodar Kraisud released the Sochi lawyer Mikhail Benyash, against whom the case of an attack on police officers was fabricated, from a pre -trial detention center on bail of 600 thousand rubles. This was announced in his telegram channel, journalist Alexander Savelyev.

The decision was made following an appeal for the decision to arrest, issued on September 28 by the judge of the Leninsky District Court of Krasnodar Diana Belyak. The consideration of complaints filed by Benyash’s colleagues, who took up the defending Politzek, took two meetings.

At the previous meeting held on Monday, the prosecutor also took the side of the lawyers. She pointed out that Judge Belyak, referring to the decision on the arrest of Benyash, that he could hide, threaten witnesses and destroy evidence, did not reinforce these allegations.

On September 9, the police seized Benyash in the center of the Kuban capital when he was heading for a rally against a pension reform in order to protect activists in case of detention. The lawyer was put in the car by force and beat there; The beating continued in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Western District of Krasnodar. Among the injuries received by Benysch were hemorrhage in the eardrum and traumatic otitis media.

Two administrative protocols were fabricated on a lawyer and left him in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the night.

The next day, the Judge of the Leninsky District Court Stanislav Burenko appointed Benyash 40 hours of compulsory work under Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (violation of the procedure for conducting public events), and on the night of the 11th - arrested him for 14 days under Article 19.3 of the Code (disobedience to the legal requirement of the policeman).

On September 23, before the expiration of the arrest, the lawyer was taken out of the special-reception in Ust-Labinsk and delivered to the department of the Investigative Committee to Krasnodar. There he was announced a detention in the criminal case, imputing part 1 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code (the application of non -hazardous violence to a representative of the authorities), whose sanction is up to five years in the colony. The next day, it became known that Benyash was also imputed part 1 of Article 294 of the Code (prevention of justice), which provides for a term of up to two years. Such an accusation, however,, unlike the first, does not imply a conclusion in a pre -trial detention center before the sentence.

The case of Benyash caused a noticeable resonance in the law community. Almost 400 colleagues of a lawyer called on the Federal Chamber of Lawyers to hold an open meeting at which to appoint an authorized person and demand from law enforcement officers so that they conduct an effective investigation of the abduction and beating of Benyash.

More than a dozen lawyers took up the defense of the political station in the criminal case.
