Human rights activist Igor Nagavkin, who is in a pre-trial detention center, reported deteriorating health

Human rights activist Igor Nagavkin, who is in a pre-trial detention center on charges of theft, said that his health had seriously deteriorated. According to his lawyer, this was reported by the "Caucasian Knot". The regional department of the Federal Penitentiary Service says that there were no complaints from Nagavkin.

upd. Later in the evening, lawyer Yuri Bengardt said that doctors had come to Nagavkin in the pre-trial detention center and he was already feeling better. Nagavkin has an exacerbation of sinusitis, and against this background there was a pinched nerve. He is given injections.

Due to the lack of medical assistance in the pre-trial detention center, Nagavkin went on a hunger strike in October , which he later stopped, since assistance began to be provided to him. Now he stated that on the night of October 31 to November 1, the left side of his body (head and arm) began to go numb, but he was taken to the doctor only in the morning.

“They gave me a pill for my head and stomach. I consider such a negligent attitude towards my health, which is accompanied by unbearable pain, “torture”, although we live in a civilized world, ”the human rights activist says.

According to the court decision, Nagavkin should be in custody until November 16. Human rights activists believe that the reason for the persecution was the professional activities of Nagavkin. He himself believes that they were interested in him in connection with attempts to expose the drug mafia in law enforcement agencies.
