The Third Court of Appeal in Sochi upheld the sentence to the Chairman of Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Refat Chubarov, who had previously been sentenced to 6 years in prison. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.
The defense plans to file a cassation appeal.
Chubarov's interests are represented by a lawyer by appointment Oleksandr Osokin. Lawyer Nikolai Polozov was admitted to the meeting as a listener, without the opportunity to defend Chubarov.
We remind you that on June 1, a so-called Russian court in the occupied Crimea passed a sentence in absentia to Refat Chubarov in the form of 6 years in prison, a fine of 200 thousand rubles and correctional labor on charges of organizing mass riots on February 26, 2014 under the walls of the Crimean parliament.
