Smolensk activist Sergei Komandirov, sentenced to 6.5 years, spoke about the deterioration of health in the colony
Sentenced to 6.5 years in prison, 29-year-old Smolensk activist Sergei Komandirov spoke about the deterioration of his health in penal colony No. 4 in the Tver region. His letter is quoted by the human rights project Letters and Improvisation. “In terms of diagnoses, everything is not easy, many things have not been diagnosed (for example, I have two vertebral hernias, but I still have pain in other vertebrae). I hold on steadfastly, but sometimes it escalates,” Komandirov wrote.
