Russian court upholds Savchenko’s arrest until Jan.16

Attorney Ilya Novikov has reported on his Twitter.

"All goes according to the plan, prolongation of her detention was left unchanged. A Judge made a mistake while copying hastily from her notes by saying the arrest has been extended for one month (in fact, - for six months - ed.). Predictably, the only person for whom nothing has changed after the hearing - this is Judge Malysheva herself. She risks of becoming non-eligible for foreign travel," Novikov wrote.

As previously reported, consideration of the appeal was held without public presence for some strange reason.
