BREAKING -  Savchenko Free Now - Page 3 Empty 'I Will Return To Ukraine, Dead Or Alive' -- Savchenko's Unspoken Last Words In Russian Court [Engl]

Sat Mar 05, 2016 12:42 pm
http://www.rferl.org/content/ukraine-savchenko-trial-letter-russia/27589461.html
....It is an absurd situation when those who abduct people subject them to torture then act as if they have a right to judge them! How can one talk about a fair trial? In Russia, there are no trials or investigations -- only a farce played out by Kremlin puppets. And I find it superfluous to waste time in my life participating in it!...
And those in the world with democratic values ought to learn their history lessons before it's too late and remember that there was a time when Europe was tolerant toward Hitler, and America wasn’t decisive enough, and this led to World War II. Putin is a tyrant with imperial manners and a Napoleon and Hitler complex put together....

BREAKING -  Savchenko Free Now - Page 3 Empty If Savchenko not be taken to court on March 9 it will be a disaster - lawyer

Sat Mar 05, 2016 9:09 pm
Ukrainian Health, People's Deputy of Hope Savchenko, which has declared a hunger strike, will remain anonymous until 9 March. Detention, which contain it, is closed for four days off for all visitors.

Lawyer Nikolai Polozov Savchenko in an interview with 15 minutes noted that this is a big problem.

"She's in prison, but on weekends he not only does not let lawyers, relatives and consuls, it just does not work. The input and output isolator is closed. Therefore, it is impossible to get any information about the health of Hope. In the dry fasting person can hold a maximum of a week. But we must not forget that this is a healthy person, and Savchenko has been on hunger strike normal, not dry, more than twenty days. That is, it does not eat, drink only water. Her state of internal organs at the moment can not be estimated, because the last survey carried Hope many months ago. In addition, in the remand prison is simply no doctors, "- said the lawyer.

He said that yesterday's lawyers spoke with the head of the detention center - before and after a visit to Hope. "He said that because he does not have health care workers, in the case of ill health it simply transported somewhere in Rostov-on-Don, put in the clinic and artificially derive from a hunger strike, which, of course, is the force-feeding, watering and etc. ", - said Polozov.

He added that the problem is in the fact that all these movements take place under the "classified". "For security reasons, federal laws prohibit employees FSIN (Federal Service of the Russian Penitentiary -. Ed.) To inform anyone about the location of the prisoner during his placement. Therefore, if hope is not delivered to the court on March 9 it will be a disaster. Firstly, no one will know she is alive or not. Secondly, if it is not taken to court, we will go to the detention facility. If it is not there, it will be necessary to raise the global buzz about her whereabouts. Power will hide it, and find hope can be the only way - putting pressure on the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia Ella Pamfilova, who can react. At least in the last hunger strike is our appeal to her, not on paper, but the public, forcing Pamfilova help ensure that Ukrainian doctors examined Hope "- said the lawyer.

CR@P report from the BBC, not for the first time.
I presume this is from "reporter" Sarah Rainsford, Moscow resident. No name attacked, not surprisingly. She gives the Moscow position first in the report.
Only later on do you read about her kidnapping (according to her, of course). Rainsford sits of the fence, to keep buddy with the Kremlin. Makes me puke.
Typical BBC cr@p. Phrases like -
"She is reported to...", and "She says she was kidnapped.... " Shaun Walker stuff.

The typical British reader will not realise that you could go to Russia as a tourist, spend 5 days looking at art in the Hermitage, and then be charged with spying and locked up for 60 years. That is Russia today.
Reminds me of Shaun Walker's report in the Guardian about the downing of MH17. "Maybe", "possibly"....

One has to question Putin's large-scale tactics. He is just building up more and more hate against Russia, Russians, and all things Russian.
Putin has a Stalin brain, and believes fear makes people comply. This is not the case in countries like Ukraine where freedom reigns.
Russia itself, of course, is a different matter. The Russian people are mere peasants, scared to do anything. North Korea II in the making.

BREAKING -  Savchenko Free Now - Page 3 Empty Savchenko ends dry hunger strike following requests of her supporters and Ukrainian president, - lawyers

Thu Mar 10, 2016 7:16 am

Savchenko's lawyer Mark Feigin said to activists who have gathered outside the Novocherkassk prison, where the Ukrainian is held, Censor.NET correspondent informs.

"Nadiia is ending her dry hunger strike and starts drinking water!" Feygin said.

"Thank God, Nadiia Savchenko stopped dry hunger strike. The request of Petro Poroshenko and all those who supported her has influenced her decision!" Polozov wrote on Twitter.

Later, Feygin told reporters that Savchenko wrote a return letter, in which she appeals to all Ukrainians. According to Feygin, Savchenko does not consider her action a concession, but rather her victory, and very much expects that her fate will eventually be determined in a manner making successful the efforts taken by the Ukrainian authorities for her release.

Mark Feygin noted that yesterday's appeal of Petro Poroshenko to the Kremlin on the exchange of Nadiia Savchenko should get an answer no matter what procedural form it would have. He added that Nadiia was very much counting on it.

"It is senseless to expect the acquittal, but the convention on extradition, which both Russia and Ukraine are signatory to, may be implemented in the case of Savchenko. In her letter Savchenko particularly thanks for the support provided to her and stops dry hunger strike. She believes that this appeal to her has been caused by a great concern about her health. She will continue fighting until the verdict, which is expected to be delivered on March 21-22. Prior to that, she will continue the hunger strike the same way as previously, taking only organic mixture, baby food. Nothing endangers her life anymore," the lawyer added.

BREAKING -  Savchenko Free Now - Page 3 Empty US Permanent Representative to UN urges Russia to release Savchenko

Thu Mar 10, 2016 7:19 am
U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations says Russia demonstrates blatant disregard for its commitments under the Minsk agreements.

Censor.NET reports citing the statement by Ambassador Samantha Power on Russia's continued detention and trial of Nadiia Savchenko.

She wrote: " Nadiya Savchenko, a former Ukrainian pilot and current member of Ukraine's parliament, was abducted in eastern Ukraine on June 17, 2014 and taken across the border to Russia, where she remains detained on baseless charges. Today, in spite of a "dry" hunger strike in which she has not had any food or liquid for nearly a week, Savchenko took the stand to deliver her closing statement in a farcical trial.

"Russia's continued detention of Savchenko demonstrates blatant disregard for its commitments under the Minsk agreements. Savchenko - as well as all Ukrainians who are being held illegally by separatists and by Russia - should be free.

"Twice I've had the honor of meeting Maria Savchenko, Nadiya's mother. She has had to follow from afar the harrowing accounts of her daughter's health deteriorating in prison, with no idea when she might be freed, or worse, whether she might die. In a video statement she released yesterday, Maria said, "I'm so nervous, I forgot what it's like to sleep."

"Yesterday marked Nadiya Savchenko's 600th day of wrongful imprisonment. She belongs back in Ukraine, working alongside her colleagues in the Rada to build a better future for her country. We call on Russia to release her at once."
