Alexey Navalny reported in his social networks that prisoners from a maximum security colony IK-6, located in Melekhovo in the Vladimir region, spoke about the “prison in prison” that was being prepared separately for him.
“My verdict has not yet entered into force, but the prisoners from a maximum regime colony Melekhovo are written that they would equip a” prison in prison “for me. They say that if you google Melekhovo, there will be stories of prisoners about how their nails are torn off, ”Navalny wrote.
As Meduza reports, the press secretary of Navalny Kira Yarmysh, in turn, stated that although torture for prisoners are used in many Russian colonies, IK-6 is “a monstrous place even by such crazy standards.” In confirmation of her words, Yarmys brought numerous media testimonies about the use of torture to prisoners of the colony. Officially, the transfer of Navalny to IK-6 was not reported.
Last year, Mediazona wrote about systematic torture and sexual violence in IK-6. Former convicted person Ivan Fomin claimed that the head of the colony Roman Sahakyan forced him to abandon the lawyer.
Recall that Navalny is accused of particularly large fraud and disrespect for the court.
