She noted that the border guard now faces up to 10 years in prison if the article of the charge is not changed.
"We will be able to learn more details about why this situation happened, whether it could have been avoided, and other circumstances of this incident a little later. The only thing I can say is: if this qualifies under this article, then it provides for a serious punishment - up to 10 years in prison," the message says.
