At the end of March, the Moscow Qualification Panel of Judges granted an application to dismiss Natalia Dudari, one of the best-known staff members of the Basman Court of Moscow, who throughout her career had arrested politicians, activists and journalists and handed down harsh sentences in the most high-profile political cases.
