The defense of the defendant in the “March 26 Case” Stanislav Zimovets filed an appeal
The lawyer of the defendant in the “March 26 Case” Stanislav Zimovets, Svetlana Sidorkina, filed an appeal against the sentence of the Tverskoy District Court, Zimovets to two and a half years in prison. The lawyer reported this.
The lawyer who sent the OVD-InfoV complaint asked to acquit the client due to the fact that during the trial the prosecution provided procedurally unacceptable evidence of Zimovets’ guilt, but the court did not give this a proper assessment. On July 20, Zimovets was sentenced to two and a half years in prison in a general regime colony for allegedly throwing a piece of brick at a Russian Guard employee during an anti-corruption demonstration in Moscow on March 26 (use of violence against a police officer - Part 1 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code).
Stanislav Zimovets is the first person accused of using violence against police during the dispersal of the March 26 rally in Moscow, who refused to admit guilt. Previously, the Tverskoy District Court had already sentenced two “confessors” without examining the evidence of their guilt. Both received real sentences: - eight months, - one and a half years in a general regime colony.
