Please circulate on the Internet. Statement of Committee of rescue of Ukraine on the case of Igor Markov
27 January 2016 in Genoa will begin the trial of our friend, member of the constitutional court of Ukraine, famous Ukrainian politician Igor Markov. To call this action only as a trial that cast doubt on the Italian justice, we can't.
Now six months Igor Markov is in custody at the request of the Ukrainian authorities under the ridiculous pretext that he was in 2007, put i...n place one of the provocateurs of neo-Nazi party "Svoboda", which has caused mass mayhem 3 at the monument to Catherine II in Odessa.
Italian court promptly submit all required documents proving that the prosecution of Igor Markov on this incident in Ukraine have been closed. Thus, the decision of the Ukrainian court on March 5, 2010 Igor Markov was acquitted on all charges. Moreover, this decision was approved by decree of the Supreme Court of Ukraine of 26 January 2012.
Igor Markov, angered by his prosecution in Italy for political reasons, has sent an open letter to the Minister of justice, Minister of interior, the heads of the Italian Parliament and the Italian media which expressly indicated that "the arrest warrant and subsequent extradition request, obviously, is unfounded and is aimed at achieving purely political objectives." However, so far none of the branches of the Italian authorities had not responded to the appeal to him of Igor Markov.
KSU reiterates the Italian authorities that the illegal retention of Igor Markov in Italy is even more evident in light of the scandalous stories associated with the arrest in Italy November 28, 2015 Ukrainian militants Korchinsky and the trial in the case of the current Minister of Ukraine Avakov, who was also arrested in Italy on 25 March 2012.
As you know, the leader of the ultranationalist organization "Brotherhood" Korchinsky accused by Russia of crimes in Chechnya, 3 hours after his arrest in the Italian airport was released on the grounds that the Russian demand for his extradition is "politically motivated".
As to Avakov, the latest in 2 weeks after his arrest he was released on his own recognizance and were moving freely in Italy awaiting trial.
KSU requires the Italian authorities to immediately stop the shameful trial, the refusal of double standards. Otherwise, we have every reason to believe that the Italian authorities deliberately hamper a fair investigation in the case of Markov and actually play to the Ukrainian authorities, decided to take revenge on Igor Markov for his political beliefs, a policy of active participation in exposing the crimes of the current Ukrainian authorities, the country launched a campaign of mass terror and intimidation of his opponents.
