The Supreme Court of the Donetsk People’s Republic sentenced three foreigners in the custody of the D.P.R. authorities to death yesterday for mercenary-related crimes.
The three foreigners, British citizens Sean Pinner and Aiden Aislin, and Moroccan citizen Saadun Brahim, were accused of participating in combat operations as mercenaries of Ukrainian armed formations. The court did say, however, that the three defendants have the right to appeal the sentence. “Participants of the process can appeal the sentence in the D.P.R. Supreme Court within one month after announcement of the court ruling, while the convicts can appeal within the same timeframe, counted from the moment of presentation with a translation of the sentence,” the chairman of the court said.
