Cold Torture: Heat Cut Off in Alexei Gorinov's Cell
Immediately after the sentencing, six days ago, Gorinov's heating was turned off. He is also not given a warm blanket; he is forced to sleep under one duvet cover. told in the support group's Telegram channel.
According to staff, it was in these areas of the pretrial detention center that an accident occurred, causing the heating to go out. The heat was on for a while, but it was gone when Gorinov's lawyer visited him on December 3. Gorinov is forced to wear thermal underwear at all times.
During the political prisoner's time in pretrial detention, he was never given letters, although it was mentioned that the correspondence arrived in batches.
"Apparently, this is how the administration at Pretrial Detention Center No. 1 in Vladimir understood the change to strict conditions. Or perhaps they felt that extending the political prisoner's sentence wasn't enough, and that he needed to be subjected to further torture." — the Telegram channel says.
