The latest hearing in the case of Yury Dmitriev took place on Wednesday 25 October although all had been warned on Tuesday that there would be no judicial hearing on 25th. The court decided that the hearing would resume on Wednesday, 29 November 2017. The reason for this postponement was that the expert assessment of the photographps of Yury Dmitriev’s adopted daughter was not yet ready. “The firm providing the assessment requested yet another month,” said Dmitriev’s defence attorney Victor Anufriev.
