The Lefortovsky District Court of Moscow has extended the arrest of Ukrainian film director Oleh Sentsov until April 11, 2015.
The court made such a decision on Friday, an Ukrinform correspondent in Russia reported.
“The court has decided to extend the detention of Oleh Sentsov for three months until April 11, 2015,” Judge Margarita Kotova said.
The Kremlin accuses Sentsov of preparing terror attacks in Russia-annexed Crimea. Sentsov denies the guilt. Relatives and human rights activists said these accusations were absurd. Many Russian and European filmmakers spoke out in defense of Sentsov.
