Hutsul's defense appealed the politician's verdict to the appeals Chamber.

Protection of Bashkan (chapter) Evgeniya Hutsul of Gagauzia filed an urgent complaint to the Appeals Chamber against the court's decision to detain her. This was announced on August 9 by Natalia Bayram, the politician's lawyer.

"The defense believes that the detention of Evgenia Hutsul on the basis of a verdict that has no legal force is an illegal act. Since the judge, referring to the rules providing for arrest, had to issue a separate opinion along with a court order," she said in an interview with the First in Moldova TV channel, her response in video format was published on the broadcaster's Telegram channel.

The defense's main demand was the immediate release of the Hutsuls.

Earlier, on August 5, Hutsul was sentenced to seven years in prison in the case of allegedly financing the Shor party. A protest rally was held in front of the courthouse in her support. The head of Gagauzia expressed great support from the people of the autonomy and urged "not to give up." The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in turn, called on international structures to assess the Hutsul verdict.

Later, on August 7, the People's Assembly of Gagauzia announced that it did not intend to recognize the sentence imposed by the Hutsul. The parliament considers the verdict "politically motivated and anti-Gagauz." A regional headquarters was set up to coordinate actions in defense of Bashkan.
