Anti-fascist Alexei Sutuga was transferred from a colony to an unknown location

Alexey Sutuga, an anti-fascist sentenced to three years and one month in prison, is not in correctional colony No. 14 of the Irkutsk region, where he was transferred and where he spent some time. His mother Olga Sutuga writes about this on Facebook. Sutuga’s absence became known when, during the delivery of the parcel, it turned out that he was not on the lists. His lawyer Svetlana Sidorkina did not immediately manage to get through to the head of the colony, Sergei Gurulev, who confirmed that Sutuga was not in the colony. However, he did not say where exactly the prisoner was transferred, or when and why the relatives were not notified. He explained his refusal to give explanations by saying that he could not identify the caller as lawyer Sidorkina over the phone. Olga Sutuga fears that her son has been transferred to a special regime colony.

Sutuga had previously been subjected to pressure during his imprisonment. He was kept in a pre-trial detention center longer than expected and was not sent to a colony; upon arrival at the colony, he was immediately sent to a punishment cell, and recently he was kept in solitary confinement - however, together with another prisoner.
