News In Brief
SKLYAROV RELEASED ON BAIL AFTER THREE WEEKS:
In the Federal District Court
in San Jose Monday afternoon, a bail motion was granted for Russian
programmer Dmitry Sklyarov.
A deal reached in advance between Sklyarov's attorneys and the
US Attorney was approved by Judge Edward A. Infante. According
to this deal, Sklyarov will be released pending trial on a $50,000
cash bond, which was already paid by his employer, Elcomsoft.
He will be required to stay within the Northern District of California,
under the supervision of Cupertino resident Serguei Osokine. Sklyarov's
next court appearance will be a preliminary hearing and arraignment
on August 23rd, before a Federal magistrate judge.
Sklyarov was released later in the afternoon after having spent
the last 21 days in federal custody.
Free Dmitry activists filled the courtroom and held a simultaneous
protest
outside with approximately 30 people. Protests were
also held today in New York, Boston, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh.
Further nationwide protests are planned for next Monday, August
13th and for Thursday, August 30th. Activists have vowed to continue
pressure until Dmitry is free to return to Russia.
Sklyarov's attorney, Joseph Burton, thanked the public for its
concern about the case and said he is optimistic about Sklyarov's
chances.
