MOSCOW - Ukrainian citizen Nadia Savchenko will be delivered to the Rostov regional detention facility on July 25, and her condition is currently satisfactory, Russian Human Rights Commissioner Ella Pamfilova's website reported on July 24.
“Nadia Savchenko started being escorted to Rostov-on-Don by a planned railway guard detail on July 17, and her delivery at the destination is expected on July 25, 2015. She will be held at a detention facility of the Russian Federal Corrections Service in the Rostov region,” the website cites an official reply that the ombudsman’s office had received from the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Federal Corrections Service.
“Her condition is satisfactory,” it says.
Pamfilova had told Interfax on July 17 that she would follow Savchenko’s trial for complicity in killing Russian journalists. “Within the framework of my purview, I will certainly see to it that all procedural norms are complied with,” she said.
She also said she would be prepared to consider any complaints from Savchenko if she receives any.
Tatyana Diyeva, a spokesperson for the Donetsk City Court in the Rostov region, had told Interfax earlier that the court had received the criminal case materials in relation to Savchenko.
The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office had reported on July 13 that it had endorsed an indictment against Savchenko and forwarded the criminal case to the Donetsk City Court in the Rostov region.
Savchenko has been held under arrest in Russia since July 2014 on charges of complicity in the killing of Russian journalists Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin in the Luhansk region. She has never admitted her guilt.
