Russia did not embark on the path of correction

The protection of the re -convicted in the Kirovles case, Alexei Navalny and Pyotr Officer, filed an application with the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe with a request to study the process. This was reported by RAPSI.

The decision of the Leninsky District Court testifies to the reluctance of the Russian authorities to execute the decision of the European Court of Human Rights, the statement is said, signed by lawyers Karinna Moskalenko and Olga Mikhailova.

“Taking into account the unwillingness of the respondent state in good faith to fulfill the decision on the mentioned case, which is extremely important for the applicant, as well as for Russian society, the applicant asks the Committee of Ministers to study this case on an accelerated procedure during the next meeting on the protection of human rights,” the document says.

The trial in the Kirovles case was re -carried out. In July 2013, Navalny received five in this case, and officers - four years of general regime, both with a fine of 500 thousand rubles. However, in October of the same year, the Armed Forces replaced both real terms with conditional.

However, in February 2016, the ECHR recognized the violation of the right of defendants to a fair trial. In connection with this decision on November 16 , the Presidium of the Armed Forces canceled the verdict and sent the case for re -consideration to the Leninsky district court of Kirov. The repeated process lasted from December 5, 2016 .

On February 8, Judge Alksay Vtyurin at the repeated process in the Kirovles case found the defendants guilty , imposing the same punishment - Navalny at five, and officer D of four years of conditional imprisonment. In addition, the judge set a fine of 500 thousand rubles. This amount has already been paid by the first sentence.

The Dissernet community checked the sentence to Navalny, who was made by the judge of the Leninsky district court, Kirov, Alexei Vtyurin, finding a lot of borrowings from his text of his colleague Sergei Blinov, a judge in the Kirovles case in 2013. As previously claimed by Navalny’s lawyers, Vtyurin even copied the testimony of witnesses who performed in court in 2013 and 2017, although their speeches were different.

On February 17, the defense appealed the sentence . “We ask for our complaint to cancel and stop the criminal prosecution of our clients in connection with their non -involvement and lack of corpus delicti and an event of a crime,” said lawyer Vadim Kobzev. The sentence to Navalny and Officer will enter into legal force only after consideration of a complaint by the Kirov Regional Court.
