According to Sonya Cherkesova, after the sentencing procedure Aslan Cherkesov was convoyed to Krasnoyarsk region and kept in investigative isolation ward No 1 of Krasnoyarsk till March, 23, where on that day he had a meeting with his attorney Igor Kuznetsov.

On March, 26, the lawyer came to the investigative isolation ward again but Aslan Cherkesov was already not there. In reply to the lawyer’s question where his client might be and why he was not in his place, a representative of the administration said that the convict was being prepared for convoying to colony No 17 and “he is currently in the convoy vehicle”.
