Blacklisted judge to preside 'SMS miner' trial
The Transport Public Prosecutor’s Office sends the 'SMS miner' case papers to Minsk's Central District Court.
The prosecutor did not find any faults in the papers of the metro ‘sms mining’ case.
Minsk metro was stopped for a few hours on February 26. A student noticed a man typing a dangerous message on his phone.
Karaganda inhabitant Konstantin Simonov is not only accused of sending a false message about danger. Other crimes have been revealed during the investigation, the Investigation Committee says: rape, sexual relations with a person below the age of 16 and pornography production.
People’s opinions about this case differ. Some people think that only a degenerate could write ‘I have a bomb in the metro, tell me the activation code, where should I blow it up?’. Others think that Konstantin Simonov is a hostage in this situation – the police cannot revert anything because they will spoil their own image in this case.
Judge Alyaksandr Yakunchyhin will consider the case. This man is blacklisted by the EU for pronouncing court’s decisions after the silent protests in 2011 and post-election protests in 2010.
