The case of Johar Tsarnaev, caught the day before during a special operation in Boston, will be given move in the near future. The accusations of the alleged terrorist, who, together with his brother Tamerlane Tsarnaev, could arrange explosions at the finish of the Boston marathon , can be presented in the very near future, despite his serious condition. On the agenda is also the question of who to judge the alleged criminal.
His case can be considered both at the federal level and in court of Massachusetts. Moreover, this is a matter of life and death, explains CNN . The fact is that the authorities of this state do not say criminals for the death penalty. Moreover, in the court of the federal level, such an outcome of the case is quite likely.
- Czechs asked the Americans not to confuse them with Chechens
There is another catch: according to the law of alleged terrorists in the United States, they must be detained during the investigation. However, this norm does not apply to citizens of America, and Johar Tsarnaev is them. Thus, the court must consider the application to let him go on bail. In court, the suspect could have been today if health allowed him.
During the detention, Tsarnaev received two severe wounds - the neck and legs, his condition is evaluated as critical. The detainee was taken to the main hospital of Massachusetts in Boston, her building was taken under enhanced guard.
Recall that the Tsarnaev brothers are called ethnic Chechens who lived in Kyrgyzstan for a long time, then spent several years in Makhachkala and moved to the USA in the early 2000s. The youngest of the brothers, Johar, spent more than 10 years in America and received citizenship .. Moreover, two years ago, the FBI agents interrogated Tamerlana Tsarnaev, but could not establish his connection with terrorists. This was done at the request of the "foreign state", which one - in the reports of the American media was not specified. But the BBC correspondent in Washington said that the request may have come from Russia.
The brothers are suspected of involvement in the terrorist attack in Boston on April 15, who killed three people. About 180 were injured. Two arranged by terrorists of the explosion occurred at the finish direct famous Boston Marathon.
Republicans demand to send Tsarnaev to Guantanamo
Senators from the US Republican Party John McCain, Lindsay Graham and Kelly Iott are sure that Johar Tsarnaev should be recognized as a participant in the fighting against the United States and interrogated in a special regime, since the information received from them can help prevent future terrorist attacks, reports The Los Angeles Times .
“It is clear that the events of recent days in Boston were an attempt to kill innocent American citizens and attack the largest American city,” Lindsay Graham wrote on his Facebook page. Tsarnaev committed a war crime, and he can be known about the preparatory attacks, so he must be placed by the special trim of Guantanamo and interrogate as a prisoner of war, the senators are sure. In their opinion, the restriction of the preliminary investigation for 48 hours and the testing of his rights to the suspect will be a mistake in terms of national security, RIA Novosti clarifies. "We must focus on receiving intelligence from this suspect right now," the joint statement said.
The Republicans are sure that it is necessary to interrogate Tsarnaev without reading his rights - as opposed to how this is done in ordinary cases when the suspect has the right to keep silence and the right to a lawyer.
At the same time, the lawyer and professor of the Harvad school of law Alan Dershovitz considers such proposals to be a manifestation of incompetence. "This is impossible. There is no way to judge a person who committed a crime in Boston as a participant in the hostilities on the side of the enemy. This is a complete ignorance of the law," he said CNN.
