Alexei Navalny and Peter Officers can go under recognizance not to leave the Radio station ECHO of MOSCOW

this initiative was made today by the judge of Lenin district court of Kirov Alexei vtyurin. The defendant is charged with “improper conduct” – they did not attend the last several meetings. Earlier, the court insisted on compulsory delivery to the court of Navalny and Ofitserov.

Leninsky district court, the defendants, along with the lawyers came in about nine in the morning. At the beginning of the meeting, the Secretary, listing the participants in the process noted that the defendants in Kirov delivered accompanied by police officers – forced. However, Alexei Navalny said that he did not agree with this wording and asked not to put her on the Protocol. According to the oppositionist, he bought a plane tickets – and what it took the intervention of police officers is unclear. The same was reported by the lawyer Pyotr Ofitserov Svetlana Davydova. Her client, let me remind you, yesterday was suddenly discharged from one of the capital’s hospitals, where he was hospitalized with suspected acute pancreatitis. Navalny said that everything that happens around review of the case of “Kirovles” only indicates that the process is affected externally.

Today the court has attached to the process another verdict against Navalny – it’s about the case “Yves Rocher”, and documents policy on bringing to administrative responsibility. All this, according to the prosecution, is intended to complement the characteristics of the defendant.

Then its evidence filed by the defence of the accused. The lawyers demanded to exclude from the case the wiretapping of telephone

conversations of Navalny and Ofitserov – as illegally obtained evidence. However, the process still attached. Also, the lawyer petitioned for the removal of the results of the psychologist-linguistic examination of the dialogue – because the document according to the defender, in particular, is not designed properly. In the end, after one and a half hour break the judge vtyurin Alexey defense motion is rejected and suddenly proposed to change and Ofitserova Navalny a measure of restraint – to send them under recognizance not to leave. Citing the fact that the defendants did not come for several past meetings. Such an unexpected initiative has raised many questions: for example, what city would be the defendants in the case, if the decision is taken. The position of the court, however, agreed a nd the charges. Protection, in turn, offered to send requests to the airlines and Railways to ascertain whether the defendants bought tickets to Moscow. It is, as lawyers say, – prove that Navalny with Ofitserov are not going to disappear. Also the representatives of the accused urging the court to go to the station “ambulance”, a brigade which was called Pyotr Ofitserov. According to the defense, his poor health is a good reason for the absence in court, and also a reason not to change the measure of restraint. However, the judge vtyurin considered inappropriate to manage the requests.
