“We can say that so far no one has been punished. There are drugs, but no one is punished. It is already clear that this is not Ivan. So these are different. This means that there will be an investigation into the Investigative Committee on the appearance of these drugs at home at Ivan and in his backpack. This means that those law enforcement officers who are temporarily suspended from work were studied and criminal, ”said Venediktov.

He noted that it is necessary to fight to ensure that there was clarity with this case. “You can only welcome the fact that the matter is not closed. I opposed the closure of the case, because then Ivan would be free, but then it would not be clear how the drugs got into his apartment and a backpack. But since the case is continued and transferred to the Investigative Committee, I hope that the investigation will be transparent. We will follow this, ”Venediktov said.

And no one wants the media to ask this question on a straight line: “When will Golunov be released?”, “What is happening with the Golunov affair?”, Because we perfectly understand that this question would ask more or less decent journalists, ”she said.

Popova noted that the guilty people were beaten in inhuman conditions, were not planted on the bench of the defendants. “I am talking not only about the performers, but about the customers of all this. In general, such a situation became possible, it was not resolved, and you need to continue to fight, now it is more important than ever, ”she said.

На первых полосах изданий большими буквами написано: «Я/Мы Иван Голунов».

Газеты заявили, что приветствуют более адекватную меру пресечения в отношении Голунова, чем заключение в СИЗО, однако не считают представленные следствием доказательства виновности Голунова убедительными.

В заявлении также говорится, что задержание и арест Голунова могут быть связаны с его профессиональной деятельностью, поэтому издания требуют «детальной проверки действий сотрудников МВД, причастных к задержанию Ивана Голунова, на соответствие законодательству», открытости результатов этой проверки для средств массовой информации и максимальной прозрачности расследования.
