Paralyzed Topokhin was returned to "Butyrka"

The paralyzed convicted person Vladimir Topkhin was returned from the 20th city hospital of Moscow to the pre-trial detention center "Butyrka". This was reported by Gazeta.ru with reference to the lawyer of the Agora Association Svetlana Sidorkin, who represents the interests of the prisoner. “Last Friday I was in his hospital,” said Sidorkina. “And now it became known that he was sent to a pre -trial detention center on the same day.”

The lawyer added that on February 20, her appeal about the sentence to Topkhin will be considered in the Moscow City Court.

On January 13, at a visiting meeting in the capital's pre-trial detention center “Sailor Silence”, Judge of the Tver District Court of the capital, Tatyana Neverova, sentenced Topkhina to six years of general regime under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code (fraud on an especially large scale), and also obliged him to pay 10 million rubles in the civilian claim of the victim.

On January 17, Topkhina was once again transferred from "sailor silence" to the 20th city hospital.

The 31-year-old Topekhin was arrested in the summer of 2013. Shortly before the arrest, he crashed by car, having received a traumatic brain injury, as well as damage to the spine and internal organs. In the pre -trial detention center, his condition was seriously worsening. The prisoner took the lower body and hand.

On November 20, the prisoner was transferred from the "Butirki" to the hospital "Sailor's silence." There, thanks to the care, his condition improved slightly. However, on December 4, the patient was placed in the common camera of the SIZO-1. “He lies naked at all, without nothing, under the thorny blanket,” wrote Anna Karetnikova, a member of the metropolitan ONK. “There are no panties and T -shirts on it. The toilet is a hose and a catheter. He did not wash his teeth on his own. He was wiped with a wet towel. This is generally a motionless person.”

Topkhin was taken several times for examination in the 20th city hospital, and each time the doctors did not find grounds for his release.

On December 16, Sidorkina sent a complaint about the immediate release of Topokhin from custody in connection with the threat of his life and health. In response, the Strasbourg court demanded that Russia urgently provide information about the state of health of the prisoner , the conditions for its detention, as well as the volume of medical care he received. In addition, the ECHR asked Sidorkina a detailed complaint in the Topokhin case. The lawyer prepared this document, and in Strasbourg they have already received it. Whether Russia managed to answer the request of the ECHR, the extreme date of the execution of which was called January 2, 2014, Sidorkina is not known.
