The hearing of the Collegium of the Supreme Court of Kazakstan on 17 December will be the last chance for Mikhail Vershinin, Evgeniy Turochkin and Sergey Kopay to have their death sentences reviewed by a court. If their appeal against the death sentences is unsuccessful, their only hope will be to ask the President to grant them clemency.
