The Sudogodsky District Court of the Vladimir Region refused the parole and the leading telegram channel “Hell’s Grandmas”. This was announced by TASS with reference to the interlocutor in court. Member of the Human Rights Council (HRC) Eva Merkacheva confirmed this information to the agency. “Bayazitova filed at Udo, her petition was considered by the court that refused her. I do not know the reason for the refusal yet, ”said Merkacheva, adding that Bayazitova will be able to re -submit a petition for parole in six months. In November 2023, Alexander Bayazitov was sentenced to five years in a colony in the case of extortion on an especially large scale. According to investigators, the journalist, together with another person involved in the case, was extorted by a media technologist Olga Arkharovova from the top manager of Promsvyazbank Alexander Ushakov 1.2 million rubles for the lack of negative publications about him in telegram channels. Bayazitova did not admit her guilt. During Bayazitova’s stay in the pre -trial detention center, the defense asked the journalist to be placed under house arrest, since she has a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes, and she needs the constant assistance of doctors. In October last year, Merkacheva reported that Bayazitova wrote a petition for pardon. Then the human rights activist said that Bayazitova’s chances to be pardoned, “are very great, because there is not a single reason not to have mercy on it.” (Tagstotranslate) News
