Moscow. He was taken to the Office of the General Prosecutor just from
the hospital.

apply to the Basmanyan court to get permission on custody. Boris
Kuznetsov, Chakhmakhchyan’s advocate, sees the actions of the General
Prosecutor’s Office illegal. `Chakhmakhjchyan is not devoid of Deputy
immunity. Besides, the decision of the Supreme court under which there
is a criminal grouping in the background, is not put into force yet;
we appealed to the Cassation court in due time and our application
will be considered in the Supreme Court on March 6′.
