On May 7 and 11, judges Olga Kiselkova and Elena Abramova, respectively, did not release Markelov, in whom the FSIN medical commission discovered stage 4 pancreatic cancer, for emergency treatment (VGK-OGPU talked about this here and here). The medical commission ordered the start of therapy on April 25, but despite the fact that his illness is included in the list of conditions prohibiting detention established by law, Markelov is in Lefortovo. According to Art. 110.1 of the Criminal Procedure Code, he should have been released within three days from the date of receipt of the medical report by the court.
On May 7, the court refused to release Markelov due to the fact that “for reasons unclear to the court” he was not delivered from the pre-trial detention center. On May 11, a similar decision was made, since the documents for the delivery of the accused were drawn up incorrectly by the Presnensky court (“this is complete nonsense that is difficult to imagine,” lawyers say), and the judge rejected the request for Markelov’s participation in the hearing via video link.
On May 12, Markelov was finally brought in (perhaps the wave of information raised by this case over the past 2 weeks played a certain role in this). State prosecutor Milana Digaeva immediately filed a petition (and only an oral one: when the judge asked for a written petition, the state prosecutor said that there was none) about the need for a second medical examination of Markelov, since the documents submitted to the court, in her opinion, are incomplete and do not contain samples of his analyzes .
Markelov’s lawyers objected to Digaeva and explained that the medical documents are comprehensive, do not raise suspicions in their authenticity, pedantically follow all requirements established by law and clearly indicate that Markelov has been diagnosed with a diagnosis that prevents his detention in a pre-trial detention center. On this basis, the defense attorneys asked the court to make a ruling to mitigate the preventive measure for their client. To further confirm their words, they brought to the court a medical expert of the highest category, Natalya Burmistrova, who was asked to ask any clarifying questions before making a medical report (however, the court did not question her).
After an hour in the deliberation room, Judge Abramova issued a ruling to keep Markelov in custody due to the fact that “there are contradictions in the medical documents.” Markelov was ordered to undergo a second medical examination.
