Belarusian activist Andrej Gnjot he declared that on Monday he will use the right to release the president of Serbia from house arrest for an hour Aleksandar Vučić, Prime Minister Miloš Vučević and Minister of Justice Maja Popović officially presented an open letter signed by 780 world creators, artists and intellectuals.
In his written statement, he pointed out that the open letter was signed by many big names whose voices are heard beyond the borders of Serbia, and that if the centers of power in Serbia do not heed his plea, millions of people around the world will hear it.
Legal ping pong
Let us remind you that the Appellate Court canceled the decision of the first instance court for the extradition of the Belarusian activist Andrej Gnjot, said his lawyer Filip Sofijanić.
"The decision to revoke the decision was published on the website of the Court of Appeal and it revokes the decision of the first instance court on the extradition of Andrej Gnjot in Belgrade," said Andrej Gnjot's lawyer.
He stated that the decision was not published in its entirety, but that, as he says, all appeals were adopted.
"I believe that the decision is based on the law, fair and that the Appellate Court, for the third time, decided as we expected," said Sofijanić.
The decision of the Court of Appeal, for Andrej Gnjot and his lawyer, means that the case will be returned to the High Court in Belgrade for re-decision, for the third time.
According to Sofijanić, the High Court can decide in a new procedure whether the conditions for extradition have been met or not.
"If the court decides again that the conditions have been met, we will appeal against that decision again," Sofijanić told N1.
Imprisonment, torture and death
The Belarusian activist is under house arrest until October 30, after which the measure must be lifted. He was arrested in October last year upon his arrival in Belgrade, on an Interpol warrant for alleged tax evasion.
The High Court has already ruled twice that the conditions for his extradition have been met, to which his lawyers appealed to the Court of Appeals, before which Gnjot repeated that extradition to Belarus would mean prison, torture and death for him.
Because, he says, this is how the critics of Alexander Lukashenko's regime end up.
