Elena Romanova plans to appeal Pavel Shekhtman's house arrest

Elena Romanova, Pavel Shekhtman's lawyer, told OVD-Info that she plans to file a complaint against yesterday's decision of the Kuntsevsky District Court to place her client under house arrest. Romanova noted that investigator Anton Krivov refuses to provide materials in the next three days, according to which the investigation petitioned for the well-known activist to be taken into custody. I received a similar response to my petition in court, despite the fact that the term for filing a complaint against a measure of restraint is just three days. The investigator whom Romanova and her client visited this afternoon also refused to tell where Shetman was after he was registered at the Severnoye Tushino police department on February 10. Nevertheless, the investigator said that the reasons that prompted the demand for a new preventive measure for Shekhtman were the wanted list in which he was declared, and also that Shekhtman allegedly continued to engage in illegal activities by publishing another "doubtful" material, but what Namely, Krivov refused to clarify.
