Employees of the strict regime colony No. 6 in the Vladimir region sent opposition leader Alexei Navalny to a punishment cell for 14 days. The politician's letter was posted on Twitter by his associates.
A new penalty was imposed due to the fact that Navalny refused to wash the fence. After the politician announced the creation of the Industrial Zone trade union in the colony in August, he was sent to the ShIZO for the sixth time.
“Well, I understand, painting the fence and feeling like Tom Sawyer is cool. But washing the fence, in my opinion, is complete nonsense,” Navalny writes. — And here I am again sitting on a stool on my 6 square meters. Of the things with me, only a mug — 1 pc., A book — 1 pc. But I'm already used to it. I don’t understand people who need some other items to live a full life.”
The last time Navalny was placed in a ShIZO on September 22 for 12 days due to the fact that he “incorrectly introduced himself to an employee of the administration [IK- 6]». Other penalties were imposed for an unbuttoned button and the fact that he did not remove his hands behind his back when walking along the corridor.
Navalny said that due to the lack of ventilation in the punishment cell, he periodically began to suffocate and experienced attacks of suffocation. The conditions of the ShIZO, where the prisoner must stand or sit on the floor during the day because the bed is fastened to the wall, do not allow the politician to do exercises that relieve back pain.
