Court enforcement officers have banned attorney Mark Feygin from leaving Russia, he tweeted on August 18.
According to him, the officers provided no reasons. Feygin believes that this ban aims at preventing him from visiting Ukraine and other countries to provide legal defense to Crimean Tatars. "It may be the first step before jailing me," he added.
Кремль решил лишить меня возможности защищать преследуемых им людей. Я не смогу поехать на ОБСЕ в Варшаву по поводу крымских татар.

According to available data, the formal reason for the ban was an alleged debt of Feygin. He defended pilot Nadiya Savchenko during her court proceeding in Russia.
