News from Mokhnatkin

Remember Sergei Mokhnatkin?
Mokhnatkin, as I understand it, a pizza delivery guy by occupation, walked through Triumfalnaya Square, not even suspecting that there was a rally there. There he saw the cops dragging an elderly woman along the asphalt and shouted: “What are you doing!” Witnesses saw this.
But for his exclamation, Mokhnatkin himself received a lyulei. He was beaten and taken to the police station along with 60 real oppositionists. There Mokhnatkin wrote a statement that he had been beaten in the square and asked for an investigation. He was immediately released on all four sides.

After some time, investigator Petrachenko called him, allegedly to identify the beating men.
Anticipating the triumph of justice, Mokhnatkin came and was arrested. At the trial, he was charged with allegedly breaking the nose of some policeman Moiseev and was sentenced to two and a half years (the prosecutor demanded five). The judge did not allow witnesses to the incident into the courtroom; Mokhnatkin did not have money for a lawyer; he was given a government lawyer.



It was only after this that the simple Russian peasant Mokhnatkin went wild.
In prison, he refused to be photographed or fill out paperwork, for which he was placed in a punishment cell. There he went on a hunger strike. In the colony, he was overwhelmed with punishments, just so that he would not have the right to parole. Everyone is paid 2,100 rubles for their work, he gets 500. Transfers are not allowed. The legal literature that lawyers and human rights activists give him is confiscated. Well, everything like that.

Today I saw in my friend feed that I received a letter from him:

“The situation here has changed.
From March 8 to March 27 I was on hunger strike, and on March 11 I was put in a punishment cell and then in the PKT (this is a prison in a maximum security prison). They didn’t even let me buy groceries.

I don’t know anything at all yet, they haven’t introduced me to the conditions of detention, I’m the only one in the entire colony (and maybe in all of Russia) who put me alone in a cell and installed video surveillance.
But they already reported that the purchases supposedly amounted to only 500 rubles per month, that there was not enough for a smoke, and parcels, parcels, only one package every six months, but they imprisoned me for 4 months, of course, without any reason. Dating is also prohibited.
Envelopes, a pen and paper have been provided, but I can hardly wait for them, the colony is poor, and this is in short supply here. So write letters with envelopes and paper.

Transfers are now also prohibited; only a lawyer is allowed on a date.
In general, everything is prohibited. In addition, they even hung video surveillance right in front of the toilet (apparently this is the most criminal place), this has never happened here before, all the prisoners are in a trance.

Address: 172011, Tver region. Torzhok, st. Staritskaya, 79, FBU IK No. 4, detachment 4.”
