The head of the Navalny headquarters, Leonid Volkov told the open media that supporters of the politician would not complain about the FSIN due to the video leak, since such complaints are useless. At the same time, Volkov emphasized that the appearance of such records is “this is all, of course, illegal.”
Navalny announced a hunger strike on March 31, demanding that a doctor be allowed to be in a colony. A few days before, he and his lawyers reported that his back and leg were hurt, and the colony administration refuses him the necessary medical care. Navalny also complained about “torture by insomnia” - according to him, at night he was waking up every hour to check.
The FSIN stated that Navalny receives all the necessary assistance "in accordance with his current medical indications" and that the nightly bypasses "do not interfere with the rest of the convicts."
For two weeks of staying in the colony, Navalny received six reprimands.
On April 1, the RT employee Maria Butina visited IK-2-probably for filming a report on the colony. Butina said that Navalny "looks quite normal, not like a person who is" not allowed to sleep ".
