The liberation of Mikhail Kosenko

On July 11 from 10:00 to 11:00, the defendant of the "Swamp business" Mikhail Kosenko must be released from the psychiatric hospital No. 5 in the village of Troitskoye, Chekhovsky district of the Moscow region.

A month ago, the Chekhov City Court, considering the petition of the psychiatric hospital, agreed with the arguments of the doctors that there was no reason to force Kosenko in the hospital. The court transferred Mikhail by his decision to forced outpatient treatment. In total, Mikhail Kosenko spent two years in custody.

In October last year, the court found Kosenko guilty of participating in the riots and the application of violence to a representative of the authorities (part 2 of article 212 and part 1 of article 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Judge Lyudmila Moskalenko recognized Kosenko as insane and sent him for compulsory treatment to the hospital. The decision was based on the results of a psychiatric examination conducted on behalf of the investigation. Psychiatrists from the Institute. Serbian buried the diagnosis of Kosenko and described him as a person representing "social danger." Specialists from the independent psychiatric association of Russia called the conclusions of colleagues biased and tendentious. Kosenko’s defense petitioned for an independent examination, but the Zamoskvoretsky court refused this.
