The defendant in the so-called case of Ukrainian saboteurs Vladimir Dudka was transferred from the medical unit to the penal colony, despite his poor health. The political prisoner complains of severe headaches, high blood pressure, stomach pains, and a rash throughout the body. This was reported by the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Liudmyla Denisova via her Facebook page.
“Vladimir continues to complain of severe headaches, high blood pressure, stomach pains, and a rash all over his body. In the colony where the Ukrainian is illegally detained, there are no medicines for his treatment. In addition, the doctor’s recommendations have not yet been reported and whether the diagnosis is made in order to pass the necessary medications”,- the message said.
Denisova stressed that Vladimir Dudka is at risk for coronavirus infection COVID-19, and therefore his transfer to barracks endangers the life of a citizen of Ukraine.
“I appeal to the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia Tatyana Moskalkova with a request to take measures to notify Vladimir Dudka and his relatives about his diagnosis and to contribute to the proper healthcare of a citizen of Ukraine”,- she added.
We remind that on November 9, 2016, FSB officers detained Vladimir Dudka , Dmitriy Shtyblikov, Oleksiy Bessarabov and Gleb Shabliy in Sevastopol on suspicion of preparing a sabotage in Crimea (article 30 and paragraph a of part 2 of article 281 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that these repressive actions are being carried out for an external audience with an attempt to discredit Ukraine in the eyes of the international community, as well as for an internal Russian audience to convince that Ukrainians are allegedly dangerous.
On May 18, 2017, Dmitriy Shtyblikov entered into a pre-trial agreement with the investigation, that is, he pleaded guilty. Not a single independent lawyer was allowed to see him. On November 16, 2017, the so-called Sevastopol City Court sentenced him to 5 years in a maximum security colony and to a fine of 200 thousand rubles.
On April 4, 2019, the so-called Sevastopol City Court sentenced the persons involved in the so-called case of Ukrainian saboteurs Vladimir Dudka and Oleksiy Bessarabov to 14 years in prison and imposed a fine of 350 and 300 thousand rubles, respectively.
