Kremlin: Sentsov must submit a petition for pardon

The administration of Vladimir Putin said that Oleg Sentsov can be pardoned only if he himself submits the appropriate application. This was late at night on Tuesday was informed by Gromadska TB by placing a letter of fax, which on August 3, the head of the Department of Organizational Work on the AP Constitutional Rights Office, Sergey Esipov sent Lyudmila Sentsova, Mother of Politzek, in response to her his own petition to pardon her son.

"In accordance with the Regulation on the procedure for considering petitions for pardon ... The pardon procedure begins with the personal petition of the convict," the paper says.

The appeal of Lyudmila Sentsova, assured Esipov, will be taken into account when considering the petition of the Politzek himself, if he submits one. For this, the petition of the Politzek was sent to the acting Governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Dmitry Artyukhov: the petition of convicts for pardon and accompanying materials are previously considered at the regions level.

The cousin of Politseck Natalya Kochneva (Kaplan) in the commentary of the Gromadsky noted: “Mother’s reaction to this is pretty good. It seems to me that she simply did not realize the essence of the document. We will think about what to do next. Oleg will definitely not write a petition for pardon. I can say that such an answer is not going to release it. They still call him a citizen of Russia And they made it clear that the petition of the mother did not work. "

The petition of the Politzek’s mother became known on July 13 , although the paper itself was dated June 22. “It is difficult for me to judge the degree of guilt of my own son, although I know him as a peaceful citizen and a person who is passionate about his profession - film director,” Lyudmila Sentsova wrote to Putin. “I will not convince you of Oleg’s innocence, although I believe it. I’ll just say that he didn’t kill anyone.”

“Children are waiting for him, the youngest son suffers from autism. They are bad without him. They will never be happy without a father,” the document was also indicated.

On July 17, Russian film critic Alexei Medvedev filed a petition for AP .

The answer to Esipova is a false petition. Putin approved by Decree of Putin, which is referred by the Kremlin official, regulates the submission of petitions for pardon by the convicts themselves, but does not contain any indications that such papers can be submitted only by them, and not third parties.

The possibility of sending petitions by third parties is also reinforced by practice: relatives of the VGTRK propagandists, whose death was charged with a pilot, and the pardon of Akhtem Chiygoz and Ilmi Umarov, the head of the collaborative muft of the Crimea and Sevastopol Emirali Ablaev, asked for pardoning the hope of hope. Savchenko themselves, Chiygoz and Umov to Putin were not addressed with any requests.

Sentsov himself definitely assured that Putin would not ask for pardon . He also forbade his lawyer Dmitry Dinze to submit an appropriate application.

The Politzek has been continuing the hunger strike for the liberation of all Ukrainian prisoners of the Kremlin in the Yamalo-Nenets IK-8 in the Yamalo-Nenets IK-8. The Fsinovsky physician, observing Sentsov, said on Tuesday that the internal bodies could refuse at any time .
