"They continue to mock her (Julia Tymoshenko), a video surveillance camera is installed above her bed, and she is under constant supervision for 24 hours a day. This is done in order to once again fulfill Yanukovych’s order and mock the leader of the Ukrainian opposition. I can also note that she has a light directed directly to the bed. I didn’t sleep, ”said defender Sergei Vlasenko to reporters on Tuesday near the colony building.
In the penitentiary service, the presence of video surveillance and duty lighting in the chamber is explained by the requirements of national construction norms for investigative insulators.
