Statement of defenders in the case of May 6
In connection with the statement of the head of the press service of the Investigative Committee V.I. We consider it necessary to declare Markin that all the activities of the Committee on May 6 were and consisted in supporting political prisoners in the case on May 6 and their family members, as well as in attracting public attention to violations of citizens' rights in connection with this case, i.e. It is purely humanitarian and human rights. Having an informal volunteer association, the Committee conducts its activities exclusively on donations by citizens is not associated with any domestic and foreign government institutions or funds.
It is perplexed by the distinctly expressed V.I. Markin neglect the fundamental human rights to defense, provided with fundamental international conventions and agreements and the Constitution and the laws of the Russian Federation. We consider it necessary to remind Mr. Markin that the trial in Russia has an adversarial nature and a function of protection inherently in discrediting and refuting the arguments of the prosecution prepared by the investigating authorities.
We draw the attention of Mr. Markin that in his decision in the Frumkin case against Russia dated January 5, 2016, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg as a result of a comprehensive consideration of arguments and evidence presented by both parties assigned all the responsibility for the events of May 6, 2012 to Bolotnaya Square on the authorities of the Russian Federation, confirming the position of the Committee of the Public Investigation Commission of April 23, 2013, in which The committee took an active part.
We remind you that at present, according to unlawful sentences, Alexei Gaskarov, Dmitry Ishevsky, Sergey Krivov, Leonid Razvozzhaev and Sergey Udaltsov continue to be in prison; Ivan Nepomnya in conclusion awaits the appeal, and Dmitry Buchenkov is in a pre -trial detention center under investigation.
