Media: Russia court refuses review of sentences for Ukrainian citizens Kolchenko and Sentsov
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has refused the consideration of an appeal against the sentence passed upon Ukrainian citizens Oleh Sentsov and Oleksandr Kolchenko. Both men were convicted in Russia for preparing a terrorist attack in Crimea, Russian mass media have reported, with reference to court records.
"They refused to transfer the case for consideration to a court of cassation," reads the report.
As reported, the North Caucasus District Military Court in August 2015 found Sentsov and Kolchenko guilty of creating a terrorist community in Crimea, committing two acts of terrorism and accused them of an attempt to purchase explosives and illegal weapons possession. Sentsov was sentenced to 20 years in prison, while Kolchenko to ten years in prison.
In early May Sentsov and Kolchenko filled out documents for extradition to Ukraine.
