The IK-6 administration in Kopeisk, the suburbs of Chelyabinsk, on March 8 sent the Crimean prisoner Alexander Kolchenko, who is serving a 10-year term in the fabricated case of terrorism, for 13 days in a schizo. The human rights activist Tatyana Schurwrote about this on her FB page.

The politicalzek was charged with the movement in the zone unaccompanied by the FSINESS - moreover, the human rights activist noted, "precisely in the places where he and the rest of the convicts, as a rule, go without protection: to the library, to the dining room." “Yes, this is a formal reason to punish the convict, but it is used only when it is beneficial to the authorities,” said Schur. Due to sending to the isolation, Kolchenko could not receive a program from human rights defenders in time.

The previous time, Politzeku was given 10 days Shiso on December 31 last year. Then the reason for the recovery was a “violation of the shape of clothing” - Kolchenko did not sew the tag on his clothes, which he temporarily wore instead of a pea jacket washed for the new year. As noted, before the placement in the insulator, the Politzek received a congratulatory telegram from the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine.

In February of this year, journalist Anton Naumluk reported that Kolchenko had had arrhythmia. The diagnosis was made according to the results of a 10-day examination in the Chelyabinsk hospital, where the Politzek was hospitalized at the insactions of the Consulate General of Ukraine in Yekaterinburg.

On August 25, 2015, the North Caucasus District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Kolchenko to 10 years of strict regime. The second person involved in the case - film director and activist of Avtomaydan Oleg Sentsov - received a 20 -year term. On November 24 of the same year, the Supreme Court left the verdict to the Political Zeal unchanged. Neither one nor the other Politzek pleaded guilty.

In October 2016, it was reported that the Russian Ministry of Justice refused Ukraine to issue Sentsov and Kolchenko. Officials referred to the fact that both political prisoners after the annexation of Crimea became citizens of Russia, and therefore, according to Russian laws, even if they have citizenships of other states, they are not subject to time to retire to these countries. In fact, however, neither Sentsov nor Kolchenko accepted Russian citizenship - both repeatedly emphasized that they were Ukrainian citizens. In February 2017, Russia repeatedly refused to return the political zones to their homeland.
