Pashynskyi Trial in Kyiv: Turchynov in the Courtroom, Monkey Outside the Court
The Pechersk District Court in Kyiv is considering a preventive measure for former Verkhovna Rada deputy from the People's Front Serhiy Pashynskyi.
At the hearing, Pashynskyi is supported by former NSDC secretary Oleksandr Turchynov, while outside the administrative building two groups of activists gathered: some chanted “Serhiy, we are with you,” while others, with a monkey in their arms, — said that “science has a chance to examine Chupacabra”.
The State Bureau of Investigation has filed a motion to keep Pashynskyi in custody without the option of bail.
The day before, former People's Deputy of the 5th–8th convocations Serhiy Pashynskyi was served with a notice of suspicion of inflicting grievous bodily harm with the use of a firearm.
The case refers to criminal proceedings reopened by the SBI over the incident of December 31, 2016, when Pashynskyi shot 38-year-old Viacheslav Khymykus in the leg.
Pashynskyi himself called the SBI's case against him revenge by former deputy head of the Presidential Administration Andriy Portnov “for the fact that after the Revolution of Dignity he had to part with stolen assets”.
