House arrest extended for Nikolai Tishchenko

Today, a district court in Dnipro re-selected a preventive measure for People's Deputy Nikolai Tishchenko in the case concerning the unlawful deprivation of liberty of a former serviceman. The court ruled to extend his round-the-clock house arrest for a period of two months.

Tishchenko himself did not attend the court hearing in person, participating in the proceedings via video link. Meanwhile, his co-defendant, former police officer Bohdan Pysarenko, was present in the courtroom.

It is worth noting that Tishchenko's previous house arrest term expired on 23 December. However, due to the deputy's absence from the court hearing within the established timeframe, the preventive measure was not extended in a timely manner.
