Zhalaudi Geriev's defence plans to file appeal against verdict

The defence of Zhalaudi Geriev, a correspondent of the "Caucasian Knot", plans to file to the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Chechen Republic an appeal against his verdict, pronounced by the judicial board on criminal cases of the Supreme Court (SC) of Chechnya.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on December 28, 2016, the Chechen Supreme Court upheld the verdict to Zhalaudi Geriev, who on September 5, 2016, was sentenced by the Shali District Court to three years of imprisonment on the charge of possession of marijuana.

Advocate Nadezhda Ermolaeva has reported that the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Chechen Republic should answer within one month from receipt of the appeal if it is accepted for consideration.

The advocate has also added that in case of refusal of the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Chechen Republic to accept the appeal, the defence will challenge the decision at judicial board on criminal cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

On October 17, the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial" recognized Zhalaudi Geriev a political prisoner. The human rights defenders believe that the verdict of guilty was pronounced to punishment Zhalaudi Geriev for his journalistic activities.
