The other day, the popular YouTube-blogger MS-Andrei Tsu-one of the most persistent and positive prisoners of the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center, extended the arrest for another three months. He is accused of illegally obtaining access to state secret. For four months now he has been in custody.
Since the previous extension of the arrest, the investigator did not carry out any investigative actions with him at all. That is, the wad just for the last two months is sitting in Lefortovo, and in the meantime, his business stands still. Despite this, the judge of the Meshchansky court Tatyana Izotova made a decision to extend the arrest.

The meeting itself was scandalous. Two witnesses came to the meeting with a lawyer. One brought the documents and the lease and planned to tell the judge that the Wading could be kept under house arrest in his apartment in Moscow, since Andrei himself was from St. Petersburg. Another witness - the girl Andrei - was going to give personal characteristics to Andrei. After all, the court for this exists to listen to witnesses, to carefully consider new circumstances, right? After all, the court can transfer a person under house arrest, why keep him in custody? What did Judge Isotova do?
First, she removed witnesses from the meeting room, then the bailiffs removed witnesses from the court’s building, and then, when lawyer Svetlana Baiturina stated a petition to listen to the witnesses by the judge refused her, ““ their appeal to the hearing was not secured ”.
Not only did they not listen to witnesses, but also to familiarize themselves with the case file, the judge gave Andrei and his lawyer for only five minutes.
Maybe the judge was in a hurry somewhere? Maybe she had more important things than the question of human freedom?
Andrey Wag says:
“They just want to rot me in a pre -trial detention center.”
This is not the first time I have heard such a phrase from a variety of people.
The extension in the courts of the preventive measures for the suspects has recently become a passing formality. Judges almost never change her for a recognizance not to leave, house arrest or bail. Even if the investigator does not come to the site for months, does not take any action, even if the suspect has guarantors, there is an apartment or house for house arrest.
This “harmful” habit of judges continues to make our pre -trial detention center filled, especially during the pandemic period. And we, as members of the PMC, continue to find people who did not get a sleeping place in the cell due to the “flooding” in the cell.
But judges, fortunately, are fair. For several months now, we have been communicating in the hospital of the Sailor Silence with convicted Andrei Tsifirov. Several people bring him to our conversation at once, they have to manually drag a wheelchair to the stairs of the pre -trial detention center - Tsifirov cannot stand up from him, half of his body is completely paralyzed after a stroke. His state of health, according to doctors and according to the requirements of the law, does not allow him to be in custody. Some time ago, the Preobrazhensky court of Moscow decided to release Tsifirov to freedom by illness. It was an absolutely legal decision. However, the Preobrazhensky prosecutor's office challenged him! It is completely incomprehensible why they did it.

Why is a disabled person who is not capable of the simplest hygienic self -care, to continue to keep behind bars?
Why does the prosecutor's office argue with doctors and law? Why in general the prosecutor’s office often becomes an indictment in the case?
When I walk along the pre -trial detention center, I am very often tormented by the question - who needs all these people to sit in a pre -trial detention center? They are not dangerous for society, they are completely not necessary to keep here.
Such a question arises is especially acute when we meet in the cells of high professionals. Not a criminal case - peaceful. Criminal cases against them are usually either custom -made or “laid on the knee” with lazy investigators, strange, causing questions.
Is it good for society that the professionals of their business are locked in the cell, where they lose their lives and professional qualities? Why are these people not released on bail, why are they at least not under house arrest or a subscription about the lower room? After all, the investigation usually lasts months and years.
For almost a year now, the reproductologist Juliana Ivanova, an obstetrician-gynecologist Lilia Panaioti, embryologist Taras Ashitkov sits in a pre-trial detention center. Julia Latynina has already written about their case in Novaya Gazeta - it is connected with surrogate motherhood, and the defendants are accused of people's trafficking. I have the impression that from somewhere “from above” the team simply came to “sew” several high-profile criminal cases on surrogate motherhood, so that there was something to substantiate the introduction of prohibitive measures, which were once voiced by the Russian Public Chamber of Russia.

And then experts are sitting in a pre -trial detention center. I looked at their surnames on the Internet - in the Moscow rating of doctors they were in the highest places, they have hundreds of positive reviews and thanks from patients.
And now their high place was replaced by a place on prison bunks.
No, of course, to the cellmates of Ivanova and Panaioti in the female pre-trial detention center-6 were lucky. They are now right in their multi -seater cell (women are sitting 30–40 people in the same cell) have doctors of the highest category who can always help with advice. Although this, of course, is prohibited.
I ask the employee of the pre -trial detention center:
- Or can you arrange these women to work with doctors in jail? After all, they are still without you here. After all, you do not have your gynecologists, right?
A woman-employee smiles slyly, she understands that I am joking, because according to the law it is impossible. But the joke is bitter. There are many employees in the pre -trial detention center who would be happy to solve their problems with such good doctors. Yes, I think they decide, consult - when will you get to such a professional?
The lawyer Dagir Khasavov, who was sitting in the pre-trial detention center-4, accused of forcing the testimony and considering his case as fabricated, recently proposed to create his lawyer office in the pre-trial detention center. He wants to provide gratuitous legal assistance to other prisoners. “Pockets” lawyers do not visit them, ”says Khasavov. “They catch me in assemblies, in autosaks and ask for help.” If it is impossible to allocate a separate room for the “law office”, the lawyer asked at least not to prevent him from receiving documents of prisoners and working with them in his cell. And he is right! A lawyer sitting in a jail chamber is almost like a gynecologist in the cell, but even better!

And the chef from the famous restaurant, sitting now in SIZO-4, helps to improve the quality of power there, evaluating the food suitable in the catering unit and offering new recipes for the prison menu.
I met in jail many professional programmers, scientists, journalists, specialists of other professions. Unfortunately, when they are all condemned, they will most likely serve the sentence in the colonies, where the only work that is possible is sewing or carpentry. So there will be a programmer and lawyer to saw logs, and obstetrician doctors-scribble on a sewing machine-that is, to correct.
Will fix?
