In Buryat prison colonies, prisoners are given used shoes, citing economic problems due to the war in Ukraine.
With such a complaint requested to the Human Rights Commissioner Buryatia Julia Zhambalova The wife of a maximum-security prisoner. The woman said her husband was sent there in January. His winter sneakers were taken away and he was offered used ones that were no longer fit for wear. The prisoner refused the shoes.
The colony administration explained that the colony was issuing old shoes by saying that supplies were scarce, as all the money was going to the war.
Ultimately, the prosecutor's office investigated the actions of the prison staff and found violations under the article concerning "providing prisoners with necessary clothing and footwear in accordance with regulations."
