The Novorossiysk Court of Appeal has dismissed the defence's complaint against the arrest of Natalia Fedorenko, a lawyer, accused of violating one's privacy. The defence intends to file a complaint.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on October 1, Natalia Fedorenko arrived at the court in Novorossiysk, for the trial, where she is accused within a case on the inviolability of one's private life. There she was placed under arrest; her advocate has emphasized that the article under which Fedorenko is accused does not provide for such a preventive measure.
