The Court of Appeal overturned the decision of the court of first instance for the extradition of the Belarusian activist Andrej Gnjota, 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 the lawyer. Andrej Gnjot.
He stated that the decision was not published in its entirety, but that, as he says, all appeals were adopted, he announced N1.
"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.
The Belarusian activist is under house arrest until October 30, after which the measure must be lifted.
We remind you that Belarusian activist Andrej Gnjot was arrested in October last year after arriving in Belgrade, according to 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 Appeal, before which Gnjot repeated that extradition to Belarus would mean imprisonment, torture and death for him. Because that's what the critics of Alexander Lukashenko's regime end up saying.
