Put him on the one hand, they can not – they could do this, for example, and yesterday – but they are afraid because they believe that it can cause a mass protest. On the other hand, for violation of house arrest, he must toughen punishment, that is logical, if transferred to the detention center.

“He was probably right’m sure that will do it, because he was furious about the sentence, and of course, he could not leave his brother in jail, when he sits under house arrest. I think he immediately decided that violate the conditions of house arrest. If you gave him a real term, he would not have been so outraged and so shocked, “- said Yarmish BBC Russian Service.
