The so-called Supreme Court in the annexed Crimea dismissed appeals against a preventive measure (detention) to three more Ukrainian sailors. Consideration of two more was postponed, reports Ukrinform.
All seamen and their lawyers participated in the meeting via video link from the Moscow “Lefortovo” jail. Therefore, this is the seventh dismissed appeal for a precautionary measure.
All Ukrainian sailors seized by Russia in the Kerch Strait, are charged with unlawful violation of the “Russian state border” made by a group of individuals under a previous conspiracy or an organized group with the use of violence or the threat of its use.
