“There are signatures, and here are copies of passports, so that no one thought that these people do not exist,” explains the wife of one of the arrested Crimean Tatars to his lawyer. More than a hundred villagers of all nationalities signed a positive characteristic regarding the terrorism of Enver Bekirov.
However, the prudently collected copies of passports were not needed - the judge of the appeal instance, Yuri Latinin, believed in the authenticity of the document, which, however, did not at all affect his sentence. Bekirov, like three other arrested in this case, remained in custody until at least April 9th.
During the meeting, which lasted no more than twenty minutes, the lawyer of the defendant Emil Kurbedinov explained that in the first instance the decision was made exclusively with the support of the severity of the sane crime. And although the charges have not yet been brought, but the article on “terrorism” does not scare few. This is probably why the lawyer Poluyanov, who was appointed as a defender, who, according to the judge, within a few days before the meeting “didn’t manage to find it”, disowned from Bekirov.
The lawyer hired under the contract, unlike the “appointment”, appeared. And he did everything in his power - he provided positive characteristics from the neighbors, explained why he considers the court of first instance illegal, and asked the court to change the preventive measure for house arrest. Bekirov himself also supported this request, referring to health problems, of which few people have not for a dozen years.
After that, a representative of the prosecution, who read the standard cliches from the prosecutor’s office in such situations, was justified by the preventive measure - there are no grounds for reviewing, there are no health contraindications for maintenance in the pre -trial detention center. Five minutes later, the fate of not only Bekirov became clear, but also three of his comrades in misfortune - the Supreme Court of Crimea upheld the decision of the first instance, and left his appeal. There was no doubt that the same verdict would be pronounced the rest of the defendants in the case.
Without putting off in a long box, Judge Latinin proceeded to consider the second appeal against Vadim Siruk. The defendant, though all the time I had to surpat - he hastily wrote a refusal of a lawyer appointed by the state by the name of Konyashkin, who not only did not appear at the appeal, but did not consider the decision of the trial court to challenge at all.
In the same sequence, the lawyer hired by agreement, and then his client also drew attention to the facts that did not take into account the preventive measure - Vadim Sirok is officially employed, all his relatives live in the Crimea, he will not hide, because he has a minor child and a pregnant wife, who he has the only breadwinner. In the same way, the prosecutor read out the same phrase from the leaf - the preventive measure justified, there are no grounds for reviewing, there are no health contraindications for maintenance in jail.
After three minutes, the judge read out of paper, which, apparently, was printed in advance, his verdict - the Crimea Supreme Court upheld the decision of the first instance, and left the complaint of the lawyer Siruk. On the back bench, a pregnant wife of the arrested, wrapped in a Muslim scarf, was quietly buried.
After the convoy took Enver Bekirov and Vadim Siruk, two more defendants in the criminal case were taken in their place-Alushtinets Muslim Aliyev and Yalta human rights activist Emir-Usein Kuku. Both, before the appearance of the judge, began to tell that quiet horror was happening in the pre -trial detention center - cockroaches swim in food, huge bugs and ticks in bed linen, and the cameras themselves are crowded: half of the camera was sleeping, and the second is waiting for its turn.
The narrative of prison difficulties was interrupted by the appearance of the judge. The consideration of the appeals of these prisoners was conducted by judge Sergey Pogrebnyak. To his first question about the allocation to the court, lawyer or side of the prosecution, Aliyev really wanted to express the distrust of the whole system of justice, but after consulting with the lawyer he restrainedly said that so far there were no grounds for biases. A lawyer appointed by the state by the name of Akulenko was also left, despite the lack of "due to illness."
After that, the lawyer who appointed by agreement submitted to familiarize the characteristics and even gratitude to the case, as well as a complaint about the conditions of detention in the pre -trial detention center. The prosecution opposed the introduction, especially regarding the conditions in prison, but the judge was surprisingly present, he also introduced the documents submitted.
Both the lawyer and his client drew the attention of the court to the fact that in the criminal case, the defendant of which is Aliyev, there are neither victims nor witnesses. This was confirmed at the court of first instance by the representative of the investigation bodies. In this regard, it is in custody for the reason that he can put pressure on witnesses and victims, there are no grounds. As well as to consider that he will hide, since Muslim turned out to be the most large of the arrested-four children in his family, including the eldest disabled daughter.
Aliyev emphasized that he considers the criminal case fabricated to intimidate the Crimean Tatar people, and explained his involvement in it with active social activities, which they are now trying to present as terrorist.
The position of the prosecution remained unchanged: “The preventive measure is justified, there are no grounds for revising, there are no contraindications for health for detainment in jail,” the representative of the prosecutor’s office again read out of the leaflet. Solidarity in this matter was also expressed by the judge of Boglybnyak, expectedly left the sentence of first instance in force.
The only suspect, whose lawyer appointed by the state came to defend, was the Yalta social activist Emir-Usein Cook. At the stage of introducing materials, the defense side insisted on introducing information about violations committed during the search and detention of the defendant. Law enforcement officers put handcuffs on the suspect, in which he stayed for about five hours, while the search lasted, deprived him of the opportunity to call a lawyer so that he could attend a search and later during the detention, and also did not allow prayer.
Despite the fact that the prosecutor's office opposed, the judge favorably allowed these materials to introduce. After that, the lawyer Kurbedinov, who was appointed under the contract, brought to the attention of the court that Cook is a human rights activist, had conflicts with representatives of the FSB, who even tried to kidnap him, and suggested that his “involvement” in the activities of the terrorist organization was explained by this.
After that, the appointed lawyer Ilya Pivovarov dismantled all the grounds that, according to the explanations of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, may be available when choosing a preventive measure in the form of detention. The main idea came down to the fact that the court had no reason to consider Cook guilty, and the arguments of the accusation about the possibility of exerting pressure on the investigation and the desire to hide - the defender called it insignificant.
However, the chances of the defendants and their lawyers to achieve the truth in the appeal instance turned out to be insignificant in the end. All four suspects will be held in the investigative insulator, for at least another month, and as practice shows, most likely will be kept in captivity until the preliminary investigation is completely completed.
