The defendant in the DOXA case was left with an assigned defense attorney in the trial against her wishes
The magistrate in Moscow left a lawyer assigned to the defendant in the DOXA case, Natasha Tyshkevich, in the trial, despite the fact that Tyshkevich already has another lawyer. This was reported by the student publication DOXA. At the preliminary hearing in the DOXA case, the judge called Natalya Rudykh, an appointed lawyer, for the activist. The defense protested this decision and filed a motion to disqualify the appointed defense attorney, which was supported by Rudykh herself.
