They also insist on attending the hearing in Anadyr, the travelers' lawyer Alexander Perelygin told Itar-Tass on Tuesday. The appeal may be finalized as early as Wednesday, Perelygin said. Simultaneously, the travelers are drawing an official letter requesting Russian authorities to allow them to stay in Chukotka. "Karl Bushby has set his mind on becoming the first person who would go round the world on foot, he's been going toward this objective for seven years," Perelygin said.
