“A lawyer went to IK-2 to visit my spouse, but he was not allowed to see the lawyer explaining that he was in quarantine. After that I received information (unofficial) that he was again placed in a punishment cell for 15 days. The reasons, we will find out. (As I understand it, they were the same. he didn’t say hello, he didn’t make the bed right way)”,- the spouse explained.
Alime also noted that she did not know anything about her husband's health, since only recently he was still in quarantine. She repeatedly called the duty unit of the colony, but no one picks up the phone.
