Sutyagin Appeal Filed
Lawyers for arms control researcher Igor Sutyagin filed an appeal to the Supreme Court protesting his conviction for treason, the English-language daily The Moscow Times reported.
A City Court judge sentenced Sutyagin to 15 years in prison last Wednesday after he was found guilty of state treason in the form of espionage.
