“There was an official call from my husband. He said that after 141 days of being in the punishment cell, he was transferred to a cell with strict conditions of detention. The transfer to a cell with strict conditions of detention is not explained officially as well as to the punishment cell. There are persistent offenders in a cell with strict conditions of detention, such as murderers and drug addicts”,- said the wife.
