"Today, the prosecution supplemented their accusation. After the prosecutor finished providing the documents, he filed a motion for the extension of the preventive measure under  the house arrest to Ali Asanov and Mustafa Dehermendzhi. "As for the measure of restraint, the defense  expressed its opinion: to change the preventive measure or provide additional time for medical examination, but the court upheld the previous preventive measure with the same conditions until May 7", – Azamatov said.

It is reported that, according to the lawyer, despite the fact that the term of the previous preventive measure expired on April 7, the Russian prosecutor asked to extend it earlier, "referring that  there will be no time then because of the end of the trial".
