reports According to her, in recent days Shestun was in pre-trial detention center No. 5 in the Moscow region and had to testify on his application to the pre-trial detention center. “He should have been interviewed within three days, as required, but this was not done. The situation with the complaint remained in limbo. He himself suggests that he was transported to Kaluga to hide the beatings,” the woman said.

punishment cell beatings Previously, Shestun went on a hunger strike due to the fact that he was not provided with medical assistance. “Due to acute pain, I can’t sleep more than 3-4 hours at night, and in the punishment cell it’s impossible to take a nap during the day, the bed is fastened to the wall. On August 21, I tried to leave the mattress so that I could rest on the floor, but they dragged me and the mattress into the corridor. They asked me to go back, but my left shin cramped. The head of the operations department, Roman Salikov, did not wait and, twisting his arm, demanded that the five guards bring me to my senses. As a result, I had a broken lip, a hematoma on my right forearm and left hand, a flattened little finger, and a hernia literally fell out like a pear,” he told his wife.

Prior to this, Shestun was sentenced to 15 days in solitary confinement due to a verbal conflict with an employee of the institution. The conflict, according to him, occurred due to the fact that a pre-trial detention center officer refused to wipe his shoes before entering the cell. The convict himself believes that the real reason for his placement in the punishment cell was his conversation with employees of the Moscow region on August 15.
