Starving anti -fascist Alexander Kolchenko was transferred to a medical part

The convicted in the case of the "Crimean terrorists" Alexander Kolchenko was transferred to the medical part of the IK-6 Kopeisk. On May 31, he announced a hunger strike with the demand to release director Oleg Sentsov. About this on Facebook was written by a member of the PMC Nikolai Schur.

The human rights activist says:

Sasha is in boxing in medical part (the conditions are good there, we were there many times). They regularly wear food. He just as regularly refuses her. After that, he is led to a doctor who measures his pressure, pulse, and blood sugar. Sasha drinks water. He said: "I will hold on while there is enough health." The requirement is the same: to free Oleg Sentsov.

Previously, Schur reported that the chairman of the PMC of the Chelyabinsk Region Vasily Katane put pressure on Kolchenko Larisa’s mother: he called the woman and said that they would demand money for the work of lawyers who visit the convict, as well as for the parcels that handed her to her son. On the website of Gromadske Radio they write that they demanded that Larisa Kolchenko persuade her to persuade her son to stop a hunger strike.

Kolchenko has a chronic lack of weight, because of this in October 2017, he ended up in a hospital. Earlier, the mother of the anti -fascist reported that during the last date with her he weighed 62 kilograms with a height of 190 centimeters.

On May 16, Sentsov announced an unlimited hunger strike - he demands to free 64 Ukrainian political prisoners in Russia. After that, as a sign of solidarity with the director and his requirements, the Ukrainian military Alexander Shumkov , who was accused of participating in the “right sector”, and the defendant in “Case of March 26”, Stanislav Zimovets , announced the hunger strike.

• On August 25, 2015, director Oleg Sentsov and activist Alexander Kolchenko, who lived in Crimea, were sentenced to 20 and 10 years of maximum security colony, respectively.
• Kolchenko was accused of committing a terrorist act (as the investigation qualified the arson of the United Russia office in Simferopol), the preparation of the attack and participation in the terrorist community, which, according to the investigation, headed Sentsov.
• A number of human rights organizations are considered by Sentsov and Kolchenko by political prisoners, indicating the fact that the investigation was carried out with serious violations, and most of the evidence that formed the basis of the sentence was received by Russian security forces with the help of torture.
