Filinkov, a programmer, and Boyarshinov, an industrial abseiler, have been charged with participating in a terrorist organisation and illegal explosives storage. After the hearing, Filinkov's mother Natalya wept, telling AFP:"I only saw him for a second and waved at him." "If the existing situation is left unchanged, it will cause irreparable damage to relations between society and the state," said a petition signed by lawyers.
