“They don’t give me paper and a pen. Yesterday the phone was completely discharged, half an hour as the head of the border detachment gave his charge. It was quite scary and still scary because of the uncertainty. I spent more than a day in a VERY bright light - I almost went blind, the head of the border detachment turned it off this morning, now it's easier, but I can't see well.
They even feed a lot, although not tasty, of course. The most edible thing was that they gave me 2 eggs last night, the rest was gruel soup and thick gruel, but with some kind of meat. Lots of bread that I don't eat. It's very funny that they give tea bags, but they don't give boiling water. There are three beds in the cell, I am alone. There is a small toilet and shower, but no toiletries.”
Chupik clarified that a lawyer was never allowed to see her.
