Ukrainian director Oleg Sentsov, sentenced to 20 years in prison in the fabricated case of terrorism in the Crimea, is transferred to the city of Labytnangi in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Thiswas reported by human rights activist Tatyana Schur, who received a letter from the Politzek, sent on September 27 from the pre-trial detention center of the city of Kirov.

“On the way, I examined the somewhat considered“ terrible ”places: Irkutsk, Omsk, now Kirov. Kochka did not collect, there was no degree of dignity or physical impact. The regime, but“ Be kind ”. Times are changing or skillfully pretending? I hope that the first one,” Sentsov writes. “In general, I feel good, the flight is safe”.

The city of Labytnangi is located a little north of the polar circle on the left bank of the Ob, opposite the capital of Yanao Salekhard. The city has a correctional colony of maximum regime No. 8 "White Bear".

On September 10, it became known about the stage of Sentsov from the Yakutsk IK-1 , where since March 2016 a political prisoner has been contained. At this time, Politzek was in jail-1 Irkutsk. However, the very next day, Sentsov was again sent to the stage .

On September 17, Sentsov from the Tyumen pre-trial detention center wrote a letter to journalist Zoe Sveta, which she received on September 30. Then the Politzek reported that he was being taken to the colony in the village of Harp behind the northern polar circle. There is the IK-3 strict mode and the colony for serving a life imprisonment "Polar Owl". “I don’t expect anything good from this business trip. Moreover, having passed the Irkutsk and Omsk centrals, I have some idea of ​​how bad and not only the stories. Physically, of course, no one touches me, but you perfectly understand that this system can perversely punish and mock, without applying gross power,” wrote Sentsov.

In July, after the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavel Klimkin tried to get through to Sentsov and congratulate him on his birthday, as well as after the campaign of Maria Alekhina in Yakutsk , the political prisoner was once again sent to the schizo. The order to transfer him to another colony was also signed at the end of July. When sending to the stage, the employees of the Yakut colony gave Sentsov about a hundred letters who came to him for the past six months, but remained in the opera part of the colony.

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.

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 .
