Tolokonnikov was taken to the colony

Pussy Riot participant Nadezhda Tolokonnikova is placed in a medical unit of one of the colonies of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. This was reported to Interfax by the Commissioner for Human Rights Vladimir Lukin. “As I was told, at my own request, it is in the location of the medical part,” Lukin said with reference to information received from the Federal Penitentiary Service and the Ministry of Justice.

"The conditions of its stay will be studied by us later. In principle, the conditions of stay in the Krasnoyarsk colonies, as our constant studies show, are quite tolerant. This is not the worst colony," Lukin noted. At the same time, he did not say which particular colony was delivered to the political prisoner.

Earlier, Tolokonnikova’s husband, Peter Verzilov called the IK-50 colony, located in the village of Nizhny Ingash, 300 kilometers from Krasnoyarsk as a possible place of her further conclusion. "That is, as a punishment for the resonance of her letters, they were sent to the very depths of Siberia for 4,500 kilometers from Central Russia," Verzilov noted

Earlier on Tuesday, the FSIN confirmed Tolokonnikova’s transfer to a colony in the Krasnoyarsk Territory . The decision to transfer the political prisoner to another region was made according to the results of inspections in the Mordovian IK-14, as well as "in connection with the situation that prevailed after the protest action of the convicted person."

The FSIN also explained why it was the Krasnoyarsk Territory who was elected the place of further serving by Tolokonnikova. "According to the leadership of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, such a decision is due to the fact that Tolokonnikova is a native of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, is constantly registered in Norilsk and will leave her punishment in this region to contribute to its resociation," the report said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Lukin sent a petition to the Supreme Court to revise Tolokonnikova’s sentence, as well as a complaint about the sentence of the Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow, prepared by the protection of the political prisoner. Prior to this, Tolokonnikova’s defense said that with the support of the Ombudsman, she intends to apply to the Armed Forces with a request to appeal the sentence. According to Khrunova, on November 5, the complaint was transferred to the apparatus of Lukin, who agreed to support the application.

It also became known that the TFR canceled the refusal of the investigative department in the Republic of Mordovia to initiate a criminal case against the deputy head of the IK-14 Yuri Kupriyanov. The decision of the regional administration was canceled on October 29. The resolution is currently being checked. This is stated in a letter from the TFR sent to the defenders of Tolokonnikova, lawyer Irina Khrunova said.

On October 24, the senior assistant to the head of the Department of the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Mordovia Natalya Afanasyeva stated that the case, on the statement of Tolokonnikova in relation to Kupriyanov, would not be excited due to the lack of a crime in his actions .

On September 23, she handed the media an open letter, in which she spoke about numerous violations of the rights of convicts in the Mordovian IK-14 and announced a hunger strike, demanding mitigation of the conditions of detention in the colony, the protection of prisoners, agreeing to testify about violations, and their own transfer to another colony.

Tolokonnikova said that she "began to receive threats from a number of convicts who indicated that they had a sanction for physical reprisal," and also cited Kupriyanov’s words: "You will definitely never feel bad, because in the world there is no bad thing."
