On Tuesday, March 23, in the so-called Supreme Court of the occupied Crimea, a so-called court session was held to consider the appeal of the defense of Vladyslav Yosypenko to his taking into custody. The occupants did not take the political prisoner to the so-called court building. This was reported by the Crimean Human Rights Group.
“Vladyslav Yosypenko himself was not taken to the so-called court session, saying that he was under investigation. As a result of the meeting, the lawyers who, under an agreement with the relatives defending the Ukrainian, were allowed into the case. Consideration of the complaint about the arrest was postponed, as the so-called judge Tymur Slizko decided to send the case to the FSB to notify the investigator of such a complaint”,- the message said.
We remind that on March 10, 2021, in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation detained a citizen of Ukraine Vladyslav Yosypenko. According to preliminary information, Yosypenko was detained in connection with his political views after attending a rally on the occasion of Taras Shevchenko's birthday, which took place in Simferopol on March 9, 2021. On March 12, the so-called Kyiv District Court of Simferopol, controlled by the occupation authorities of the Russian Federation in Crimea, made a decision to take Yosypenko into custody for a period of 2 months – until May 11. The detainee is accused of committing a crime under Part 1 of Article 223.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation – illegal manufacture, processing or repair of firearms, their main parts (with the exception of limited firearms), as well as illegal manufacture of ammunition.
