His mother Olga Sutuga wrote about Sutuga's absence in the colony where he was previously held on Facebook last Sunday. This became known when, during the transfer 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.
