20 June 2012, 10:31Pussy Riot's lawyers send complaint to ECHR
Moscow, June 20, Interfax - Lawyers for the arrested Pussy Riot punks have sent a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) about violations of the rights of the defendants in Russian courts, one of the Pussy Riot lawyers Violetta Volkova said.
The complaint deals with the illegality of the decision of the Tagansky District Court in Moscow to take the Pussy Riot members into custody. The complaint also deals with the ruling of a higher court that upheld the Tagansky District Court's arrest decision.
Volkova thinks that the ECHR should report on the registration of the complaints within a week. "We hope that in our case the terms will be shorter given the fact that our defendants are prisoners of conscience," she said.
The Tagansky District Court will hear on Wednesday another investigator's motion to extend the term in custody for one of the Pussy Riot girls.
On June 4, detectives announced they completed investigating a criminal case against Pussy Riot opened on hooliganism charges after three months of work.
On February 21, several members of the Pussy Riot punk band wearing masks staged an anti-Putin performance at Christ the Savior Cathedral.
