may 13, by the way, about a similar case, wrote, “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” in the article “Observatory for protection”: the lawyer of the Novosibirsk region are unable to come to the process in Kemerovo, as it has not received firm guarantees that it will not close for two weeks in a quarantine administered by the local authorities.
In Tatarstan militiamen referred to the regional epidemiological standards that require all visitors to undergo a two-week isolation. Therefore, the investigator leading the case, has signed a special resolution. In it, he explained that within fourteen days from the time of arrival of the attorneys are not entitled to intervene in the case, meet with the defendant, with him to read the result of the accumulated materials. The accused also recommended at this period to find defenders on the spot. Or the lawyer he will be provided by the state.
According to one of the attorneys involved in this case, “some unscrupulous investigators, taking advantage of the situation, trying to achieve the desired results, based on an incorrect interpretation of normative acts of constituent entities of the Russian Federation”.
Advocates believe that the investigation is not guided by a concern for the health of all participants. Just didn’t want to mess with too active lawyers: many law enforcement officers have been successfully appealed. Anyway, this time, the investigation also failed to win a legal victory. On the “health” of the investigator the complaint was filed. The Deputy chief of Department of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation in the Volga Federal district ruled in favor of the defense, stating that criminal proceedings are regulated only by the criminal procedural legislation.
the Administration of Rospotrebnadzor in the Republic of Tatarstan, in turn, officially explained that measures to ensure the isolation imposed in the region do not apply to lawyers, who arrived in connection with his professional activities.
Vice-President of Federal chamber of lawyers Henry Reznik said that the defenders from the very beginning were in close contact with the FPA, put it on notice about his actions and advised how to seek admission in the case.
“Their experience can be used in other regions experiencing this kind of difficulty at arriving there lawyers, said Henry Reznik. – In the absence of any evidence that they have signs of infection, they should not be used excessive and unjustified constraints to the provision of such constitutional values as the right to protection.”
