Ukrainian film director Oleg Sentsov, sentenced to 20 years in prison in the fabricated case of terrorism in Crimea, was transferred from the Irkutsk SIZO-1. This was reported by "Mediazona" with reference to the lawyer Sentsov Dmitry Dinze.
Where and for what reason was the Politzek sent is unknown.
About the stage of Sentsov to Irkutsk from the Yakutsk IK-1, which was kept by the Politzek, became known the day before. Sentsov did not explain the reason for his sending from the colony.
In Irkutsk, Sentsov was placed in a single camera in the basement of the Red Corps of the pre-trial detention center, where, according to the prisoners, there are press khats. Irkutsk SIZO-1 has a reputation as one of the worst prisons of Russia. There, prisoners, cooperating with the administration,, at the direction of operatives, cruelly torture other arrested.
Sentsov presumably visited this pre -trial detention center in March last year. In the Irkutsk region, it was contained for about one and a half weeks on the way to Yakutia.
Sentsov sentenced Sentsov on August 25, 2015 the North Caucasus District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don. The second person involved in the case - the left activist Alexander Kolchenko - received a 10 -year term. On November 24 of the same year, the Supreme Court left the verdict to the Political Zeal unchanged.
Neither Sentsov nor Kolchenko pleaded guilty.
In October 2016, it was reported that the Russian Ministry of Justice refused Ukraine to issue political zones. Officials referred to the fact that Sentsov and Kolchenko after the annexation of Crimea became Russian citizens, and therefore, according to Russian laws, even if they have citizens of other states, they are not subject to time to retire to these countries. In fact, however, neither Sentsov nor Kolchenko became citizens of Russia. Both political prisoners have repeatedly emphasized that only Ukrainian citizenship have.
As reported by the cousin of Sentsova Natalya Kochneva (Kaplan), in the Yakutsk IK-1, Politzeck was repeatedly placed in a schizo. Meanwhile, lawyer Dmitry Dinze, who visited his client in the colony in December 2016, reported that he had "everything is fine." The director told the lawyer that during the imprisonment he wrote five scenarios and one story .
