01 October 2012, 12:26Lawyer Volkova does not know why Samutsevich has refused her services
Moscow, October 1, Interfax - The decision made by Pussy Riot activist Yekaterina Samutsevich to refuse the services of her lawyers has surprised them.
Samutsevich's lawyer Violetta Volkova told Interfax she had met with her client in the Moscow detention facility, where she is kept, on Friday.
"During the meeting, we did not discuss any challenges of lawyers' candidacies and we generally said goodbye to each other in a positive way," Volkova said.
Volkova said the rumors that Samutsevich may request a different lawyer had reached her over the weekend.
"I don't know why Yekaterina Samutsevich has refused to use my services. However, as her lawyer, I have no right to prevent that," Volkova said.
The Pussy Riot activists, the state prosecutors, and the lawyers for the victims are now waiting for the Moscow City Court to decide on the challenge of the lawyer. |
