The next hearing in the case of the Nigerian student Olaolu Sukanmi Femi was scheduled for 20 March 2013; he is being accused by the Lugansk Prosecutor's Office of an assassination attack against five young people. Nevertheless, the hearing was frustrated by the English interpreter, who admitted that she was not sufficiently competent and refused to continue to interpret. Thus, Femi, who, according to human rights activists and journalists, is the victim of a racially motivated crime, will soon "celebrate" 18 months of pre-trial detention on a very dubious charge.
