Human rights activists from Amnesty International did not pay attention to Vinnik's complaint

As Alexander Vinnik’s lawyer Zoe Konstantopoulou said, an appeal to the head of the GreekAmnesty International’s human rights branch turned out to be ignored.

“I called Mr. many timesSakellaridis and sent him reminders. I believe Amnesty International should have intervened, but the Greek branch did nothing. I also made personal attempts, but everything was empty, ”Konstantopulu emphasized.

The lawyer also said that the defense of AlexanderVinnika filed a complaint with the UN Human Rights Committee. The complaint emphasizes that the Russian citizen is illegally detained in Greece, while still not charging him.

Konstantopulu noted that Vinnika is constantlythere is psychological pressure. So, the doctor of the Russian embassy was not allowed to normally examine and determine the physical condition of the prisoner. The hospital "suddenly appeared guards with machine guns and masks on their faces, as if they contained the most dangerous criminal."

Another measure taken by the defenseVinnik, it was sent to the Greek authorities a request to repeal the decision to extradite a Russian citizen, who allegedly laundered billions of dollars through the BTC-e exchange, to France, the United States and Russia.

Let us remember that at the end of December last yearThe Supreme Administrative Court of Greece suspended the extradition of Alexander Vinnik to the United States or Russia due to a hunger strike and the deteriorating health of the Russian citizen.
