Russian court extends Savchenko’s arrest until April 16

A Russian-based Donetsk city court in southern Russia's Rostov region has extended the arrest of Ukrainian pilot, MP and member of the Ukrainian delegation to PACE Nadia Savchenko until April 16, 2016, her lawyer Nikolay Polozov wrote on Twitter.
 

"The court granted the prosecutor's request to extend the period of Savchenko's detention until April 16, 2016," he tweeted.

He also said that Savchenko had declared the disqualification of the judge.

"Due to the illegal extension of the detention and the systematic denial of defense motions, Nadia Savchenko declared the judge disqualification," Polozov said.
