Lawyer: Savchenko not to serve time if she returns to Ukraine
Nadia Savchenko's lawyer Mark Feygin believes that the Ukrainian pilot and parliament deputy will not serve time in case of her return to Ukraine under the Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons.
"Being in Brussels, I once again clarified the immunity of PACE delegate Savchenko. Just to make sure. She will not be imprisoned after her transfer to Ukraine under the convention," the lawyer wrote on Facebook on Thursday.
The Donetsk City Court in the Rostov region sentenced Savchenko to 22 years in a penitentiary on March 22.
The Russian justice minister said on Wednesday that the Ukrainian Justice Ministry had requested him for documents to support the transfer of convicted Savchenko to Kyiv for serving time.
