Notice of a hunger strike in IK-4 of the Main Penitentiary Service of the Republic of Belarus. Checking the information

“In IK-4 of the GUFSIN along the Bashkortostan River (Salavat) there is a massive hunger strike due to gross violations of the legal rights of convicts in the detachment under strict conditions of serving sentences (OSUS). Yesterday, 19 people wrote statements about refusing to eat due to inhuman conditions of detention (Torture), threats of physical violence and humiliation, intimidation, falsification of materials to worsen the situation of prisoners and transfer to EPKT torture. Also, the employees of IK-4 every morning take away the bedding that they are entitled to under the Penal Code of the Russian Federation. Also, by virtue of Article 94, PECs do not provide TV viewing. The convicts wrote an appeal to a higher authority, which explained to them that this was all due to them by law. The administration of PKU IK 4 ignores all the answers of higher departments, creates grounds for mass protests. While this is a hunger strike, but at any moment the situation can worsen, people are driven to despair. Please help!"

Earlier, Os. Sergey Lazko was killed in IK-4 and there were already mass protests.
