The Supreme Court recognized as legitimate the Verkhovna Rada's decision to prosecute, detain and elect a measure of restraint for deputy Nadezhda Savchenko.

Such a decision was made by the court on September 11.

He denied Savchenko and his lawyer in recognizing unlawful and repealing decisions of the Council.

According to the defense of Savchenko, Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko, speaking before the Council, "did not cite any reference to concrete facts and evidence".

His report supposedly "contained only general information," and the video and audio recordings that he published "can not be considered proper and admissible evidence," because they were obtained during investigative actions that concerned not Savchenko.

In addition, the People's Deputy complained that her colleagues did not properly verify the legality and validity of the representations of the Prosecutor General.

The lawyer also insisted on violations during the parliamentary session.

In turn, the Verkhovna Rada responded that the submission "is confirmed by concrete facts obtained as a result of pre-trial investigation by evidence".

"There is no Committee, no ASU is inactive as an organ of pre-trial investigation or a court in order to finally establish and verify the sufficiency, legality, validity of the evidence obtained," the representative of Parliament.

The Supreme Court decided that the Rada's decisions regarding Savchenko "were taken on the basis of, within the powers and in a manner determined by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, reasonably, proportionally and with respect for human rights to participate in the decision-making process".

The decision can be appealed to the Grand Chamber within 30 days.
