Funny hour

The defendant of the UNA-UNSO case Nikolai Karpyuk called his process, which was in the Supreme Court of Chechnya, a circus. It is reported by the "Caucasian Knot". So he reacted to the prosecutor’s announcement of his testimony given under torture.

On Tuesday, Karpyuk told in detail where he was actually in 1994-1995 and 1999-2000, that is, at a time when, according to the prosecution, he fought in Chechnya. After that, the prosecutor began to insist on the announcement of the testimony of Politzek, given to the investigation, since they radically diverged with what he said in court.

Karpyuk objected to this, indicating that the testimony was received under torture . However, judge Vakhit Ismailov took the side of the prosecutor. He also allowed the prosecutor to approach the defendant and demonstrate his signatures under the sheets of interrogation protocols. However, when the prosecutor approached the cage, the political prisoner: "This is your lie, take it to yourself!" He also noticed in high colors: "I also did not read it (protocol. - Ed.) , And now I do not want to."

Ismailov made a remark to Karpyuk, but he continued to protest against the announcement of the testimony given at the investigation. The presiding judge threatened Politzek with a removal from the audience. “I’m not to blame for anything. Do what you want,” the defendant answered. Then Ismailov ordered to withdraw Karpyuk.

When Karpyuk was removed, the second person involved in the case, Stanisla Klykh, tried to demonstrate the marks of the toe on his arms and legs. "Here they are - my signatures!" he said. After that, Ismailov interrupted the meeting.

On Wednesday, the prosecutor repeatedly tried to present Carpyuk to his signatures under the testimony. He again refused to view the papers, after which the signatures were demonstrated by the jury. Then he began to read out the testimony.

After that, the Politzek himself already asked for removing from the hall during the announcement of the testimony. He explained that "does not want to participate in this circus." Ismailov ordered the request to fulfill.

Klykh, during the announcement of the testimony, Karpyuk complained of high pressure. He was called an ambulance.

Before the hearing with the jury, the lawyer Karpyuk, Dokka Itslaev, petitioned the exclusion from the case of a number of evidence as unacceptable and the resolution of video shooting in the hall. Ismailov asked the first petition to be submitted in writing, and refused the second.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Vera Savchenko, the sister of the Ukrainian pilot Nadezhda Savchenko, whose process continues in the Rostov region, was allowed into the process as a public defender of Karpyuk. At the end of the hearing on October 28, Vera Savchenko and lawyer Itslaev gave an interview to the Grani correspondent.
