What a life-giving post can do!
Yesterday, the court hearing where Oleg’s parole request was supposed to be considered was classified behind closed doors. The judge told the lawyer that the courthouse was undergoing renovation, so the hearing had to be moved to the penal colony, where, naturally, neither relatives nor journalists would be allowed in.
However, after my post yesterday, the renovation was magically completed, so the hearing has now been declared open.
Anyone who wishes to attend is invited to the Uritsky District Court on June 27 at 11:30 a.m.
Here, Oleg himself writes about this hearing.
