Defense lawyers to contest in ECHR Ukrainian Suschenko's arrest on espionage charges in Russia
The defense lawyers for Ukrainian citizen Roman Suschenko, who is charged with espionage, plan to go to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), his lawyer Mark Feygin told reporters in the Moscow City Court.
"The court has rejected the defense lawyers' complaint. The case is a political one, such rejection opens to us the way to go to the European Court [of Human Rights]," Feygin said.
He said Suschenko had lived permanently in France, where he worked as a correspondent for a Ukrainian information agency. He came to Moscow to visit his relatives, namely, his cousin.
"He could be kept under house arrest in that apartment," Feygin said.
It was reported earlier on Thursday that the Moscow City Court had found Suschenko's arrest legal.
