Moscow municipal deputy Alexei Gorinov, convicted in the case of military “fakes,” was sent to the punishment cell at IK-2 in the Vladimir region for the third time in a row. The prisoner's letter was published in his support group.
It is not reported when exactly the penalty was imposed. It is known that Gorinov was sent to a punishment cell for 15 days.
According to the prisoner, the formal reason for the punishment was his failure to do his morning exercises. Gorinov writes that he was released from it for medical reasons, “but still did it at the urgent demands of the citizens and superiors.”
The politician reported that after a meeting of the disciplinary commission, where he was assigned a new 15 days in a punishment cell, he refused to return there voluntarily.
“I was persuaded for a long time to submit to the "legal" demands of the colony staff to go to the isolation ward, with the threat of using force in case of my disobedience. When they got tired of it, two big guys grabbed me by the arms and forcibly took me to what had already become my own cell,” Gorinov writes in the letter.
For the first time, the politician was sent to the IK-2 punishment cell for six days on September 7. According to Gorinov’s supporters, on September 5, FSB officers came to see him. They asked how he felt about “terrorist and extremist organizations.”
On September 13, Gorinov was not released from the punishment cell. The reason why this happened is unknown. Supporters of the deputy wrote that immediately after his release from the detention center, the politician was supposed to see his family, but he was not allowed to do this.
Last summer, Judge Olesya Mendeleeva of the Meshchansky Court sentenced Alexey Gorinov to 7 years in prison in the case of military “fakes” (clause “e” of Part 2 of Article 207.3 of the Criminal Code). In September 2022, the appeal reduced the period by one month.
In March 2022, at a meeting of the Council of Deputies of the Krasnoselsky District of Moscow, Gorinov proposed considering not a plan for leisure work, but declaring a minute of silence “for the victims of the ongoing military aggression in Ukraine” . His idea was supported by his colleague Elena Kotenochkina. As a result, both deputies became involved in the “fake” case; Kotenochkina managed to leave the country and was put on the wanted list.
