Final victory for Aleksandr Nikitin
===================================
For more information and background: http://www.bellona.no/nikitin/
The Supreme Court Presidium dismissed the appeal from the General
Prosecutor’s Office Wednesday, 11:20 Moscow time. The prosecution has
used up the possibilities to reverse the acquittal of Aleksandr Nikitin.
The case that has been lasting for almost five years is finally over!
Aleksandr Nikitin was charged with high treason and disclosure of state
secrets by the Russian Security Police, FSB, for co-authoring Bellona
report on radwaste hazards in the Russian Northern Fleet. Nikitin was
fully acquitted in December 1999. The acquittal verdict was upheld by
the Russian Supreme Court in April 2000. In May 2000, the Prosecutor
General’s Office appealed the acquittal to the Presidium of the Supreme
Court.
