Early relief of figurant in "Neva-Express" explosion case rejected

Today, the Valdai District Court of the Novgorod Region refused to release Maksharip Khidriev, a native of Ingushetia and a figurant in the first case of blowing up the "Neva-Express" train in 2007.

As reported by the regional prosecutor's office, under the law Khidriev could hope for conditional early relief; however, the colony administration told the court that "the convict had two disciplinary punishments, refused to work and failed to take part in social life of the corrective establishment," the "Interfax" reports.

Therefore, the petition for his conditional early relief was rejected.
