As Masha Bast said, the complaint connected with the pressure by Russian authorities against lawyer Igor Popovsy, which faced with the provocation from Russian law enforcement bodies during the defense of Nikolai Korolev. Russian authorities tried to forbid Igor Popvsky to defend Korolev.
Masha Bast stressed, that lawyer Igor Popovsky refused to cooperate with law enforcement bodies and Russian authorities began political persecution against Popovsky.
As previously lawyer Igor Popovsky reported, the security of jail "Butyrka", as investigator said, during Popovsky visit to Korolev March 2013, allegedly found TNT after meeting between lawyer and Korolev in lawyers’ documents. As Igor Popovsky said, the documents were in jail office during a meeting with Korolev.
