I thought it would take half an hour, but it took three. Or rather, I left after three hours, and the hearing is still going on. The "Format" group showed up too. About nine people. Three of them were school-age girls. All quite peaceful. Their lawyer is very odd. And the defense strategy is odd too. Martsinkevich rather amusingly quoted Putin, saying that he too considers liberals enemies of the people. I petitioned for Tesak to be released on his own recognizance—the arrest only turns him into a victim of the regime. It does more harm than good.
