Navalno’s lawyers will appeal against his imprisonment and will address the Council of Europe
Navaln’s lawyers seek his release and the overturning of a Moscow court verdict on Tuesday, replacing the opposition’s 3.5-year prison sentence with actual incarceration.
“Of course we complain,” Navaln lawyer Olga Michailova told Interfax.
We will also address the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on Europe [Žmogaus Teisių Teismo, EŽTT] non-compliance, “he added.
Navaln has been charged with violating the terms of a probation sentence imposed on him in an embezzlement case in 2014 for failing to register with the Russian Prison Service twice a month in Germany, where he has been suffering severe poisoning since August.
On parole, Navaln spent a year under house arrest. His brother Oleg is serving his entire prison sentence.
The opposition was arrested at the Moscow airport on January 17, less than an hour after returning to Russia from Germany, where he was being treated with Novičiok, a nerve paralyzing substance created by Soviet scientists after his poisoning last summer. .
The opposition accuses the Federal Security Service (FSB) of carrying out the attack on Putin’s instructions. The Kremlin categorically denies it.
Judge Natalia Repnikova, announcing the sentence, ordered to replace the sentence of probation imposed in 2014 by the actual incarceration in a correctional colony of the general regime, but, given the time spent in house arrest and detention, she will have to spend two years eight months in prison.
In October 2017, the ECHR deemed the Russian trial in the case of A. Navaln and his brother Oleg unfair and sentenced them to more than 80,000. compensation.
On April 25, 2018, the Supreme Court of Russia resumed the trial of the Navalnai brothers due to the decision of the ECHR, but confirmed the ruling without modifying it.
