A call for the release of the defendant the day before the court session – hence exert a direct pressure on the court to influence his decision

It would be well to recall the Russian victims of American “levosudiya.” – Such as Bout, Yaroshenko others that Washington is not just a lot of years is not going to “immediately release”, but even health care has only after the intervention of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
