Lawyer Sergei Legostov told about it to Crimean Solidarity. He also reported gross violations of the correctional institution.

According to the lawyer, he visited Oleg Prikhodko, who is serving a sentence on charges of “storing explosives and preparing a terrorist attack".

“The meeting with the defendant took place without respecting the confidentiality specified in the law. A representative of the institution was present at the meeting with a video camera, which recorded the conversation. Prikhodko was behind the glass, the connection was of poor quality, especially given that the convict has hearing problems. The conversation ended 25 minutes later because of a lunch break in prison,” the statement said.

​​The lawyer also pointed out that he was not allowed to hand over documents for signature to the client - this is a gross violation of rights.

It is about filing a cassation appeal against the verdict, the deadline for which expires in November. In addition, according to the lawyer, the transfer of the power of attorney to represent the interests of the ECtHR, consent to the disclosure of information constituting medical secrecy, personal data and Prikhodko's questioning about the conditions of detention were denied.

According to Legostov, his client said that for three months since his stay at the special penitentiary of Vladimir, he had not been given the necessary medication from relatives. He was also never examined by a prison doctor. A representative of the Russian Penitentiary Service (Federal Penitentiary Service) declined to answer the lawyer why such a situation had happened.

"This is an ill-treatment of a person who is completely at their mercy", - said the defender.

In addition, Oleg Prikhodko said that he had been in solitary confinement all this time.

“He has to spend the whole day on his feet because he is allowed to lie down only after lights out. Moreover, he has not received a single letter. His correspondence is also not sent to his relatives, although he writes letters every day", - said the defender.

According to him, the administration of the prison refuses to give the political prisoner his personal belongings. The lawyer said that he had already filed a complaint with the prosecutor's office in Vladimir about numerous violations of the law.
