WorldRussian political prisoner Alexey Gorinov says he may have been poisoned as court rejects bid to reopen case
Alexey Gorinov told a Moscow City Court hearing by video link from prison that he may have been poisoned and that officials were not registering his requests for medical care. The court upheld prosecutors’ refusal to reopen his criminal case and declined to help him obtain treatment. His lawyer cited 11 violations identified by a U.N. working group, while Gorinov’s defense said Russian courts had never addressed its findings.
