Lawyers of KGB prisoners waiting to be summoned for interrogation
It became known today that the term of detention of the ex-presidential candidate Aliaksej Mikhalevich had been prolonged for 10 days by the investigation.
However, the destiny of other prisoners of the KGB detention center is still unknown.
This was informed to Euroradio by Uladzimir Toustsik, the lawyer of the ex-presidential candidate Andrej Sannikau's wife Iryna Khalip.
Uladzimir Toustsik: “We have no information in this regard yet, the investigators have not called any of us. We all are waiting to be summoned for interrogation by the investigators. I haven't been summoned yet, and I have no information whether my client's term of detention will be prolonged or not”.
According to the lawyer, the 72-hours term of preliminary detention without presenting an accusation expires for Iryna Khalip today, on December 23, at 17.00. He hopes to get some information from the investigator by that time.
The lawyers of the KGB prisoners have informed to Euroradio yesterday that the KGB detention center refused to accept parcels for the prisoners. They said they were not authorised to do this until the status of suspects will change for some other. Uladzimir Toustsik thinks this is wrong.
Uladzimir Toustsik: “I do not fully agree that they should not accept parcels. However, these are rules set by someone, not us. I mean, it is allowed to pass parcels to the pre-trial detention center, for some reason. There is a list of things which can be passed, and the time for it, although "all kinds of the detained" are also there".
Uladzimir Toustsik does not think he can predict whether they will accept parcels in case the term of detention is prolonged. However, he added that Iryna Khalip did not even have a toothbrush and other hygienic supplies.
