Trial on metro terrorist attack to be resumed today

For example, Kavalyou claimed in the court hall that he considered Kanavalau innocent in both 2005 and 2011 blasts. Kavalyou also said that he had confessed in failure to report about the blast because he heard Kanavalau screaming from behind the wall. The investigators allegedly told Kavalyou that they would sentence him to two years of imprisonment for failure to report, and would not accuse him of terrorism. Kavalyou says that he gave testimony because he was frightened by the possible execution. Alongside with that, he has confirmed that no violence was used against him.  

Kavalyou's mother Lyubou read out an appeal to the authorities, urging to conduct referendum on abolishment of death penalty. She is afraid that death penalty might be used against her son.
