The court restricted Dennis Christensen's right to familiarize himself with the case file

On December 11, 2017, Elena Gaponova, judge of the Sovetsky District Court of Orel, at the request of the investigation, significantly limited the time given to the believer to familiarize himself with the materials of the criminal case, the volume of which is 11 volumes, including about 2500 pages, until December 25, 2017.

As the only reason for limiting the time for familiarization with the case materials, the court indicated the use of the services of an interpreter by the accused. It was in this that the judge saw Christensen's delay in the familiarization process. Thus, what he is entitled to under the law has been used against the believer.

The defense filed an appeal against the court ruling.
