Dear Prosecutor:
On November 25, 1999, Dmitry Antonovich NEVEROVSKY, a member of the Radical Party and the Antimilitarist Radical Association (ARA), who conscientiously objected to protest against the Chechen war and applied for alternative civilian service according to the Art. 59.1 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, was sentenced by the Obninsk City Court of the Kaluga region to two years of imprisonment according to the Art. 328 of the Russian Criminal Code ("evasion of military and alternative civilian service").
On February 9, 2000, the Regional Court of Kaluga recalled by a cassation instance the verdict of the Obninsk City Court, and the case was remitted for a new examination by a new composition of the Obninsk City Court.
On March 3, 2000, the Obninsk City Court decided to remit the case of Dmitry Neverovsky for further examination and reaccusation. Moreover, the Court declined numerous requests of the defense to substitute the preventive measures in respect of Neverovsky by the written undertaking not to leave the place, despite the fact that he never made any attempt to escape or hinder the investigation. Thus, Dmitry Neverovsky has been confined in the investigation prison since November 25, 1999, he is evidently deprived of justice. The case of Neverovsky, an innocent person who for many months in violation of his rights guaranteed by the Constitution has been imprisoned for his active civil position, having become the subject of international preoccupation (see the resolution of the European Parliament of January 20, 2000), causes an irreparable damage to the reputation of the Russian justice and Russian force and law bodies.
I ask you to interfere immediately and substitute the preventive measures in respect of Dmitry Neverovsky by the written undertaking not to leave the place, and also to take measures in order to bring his case before the law in the shortest time with a view to pass the only fair verdict of "not guilty".
