Savchenko requires Convention on Transfer of Sentenced Persons be applied to her

The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine has received an appeal from the Ukrainian female pilot and MP Nadia Savchenko sentenced in Russia to imprisonment with a request to launch the process of her return to Ukraine, Justice Minister Pavlo Petrenko wrote on Facebook.
In her letter Savchenko asked to be transferred to Ukraine within the framework of the Council of Europe Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons of 1983.
The appeal is dated April 7.
”I have repeatedly insisted that Nadia Savchenko was illegally abducted from the territory of Ukraine and was subject of a sham trial, which Nadia does not recognize, and therefore, she even barred her lawyers from appealing against this shameful verdict,” he wrote.
Petrenko said he would do everything possible under international conventions to return Savchenko home.
The official also said that on Tuesday, he is to meet with the convict`s sister Vira Savchenko.
