“We discussed with him the consequences of the cruel and inhuman treatment of him by the administration of the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center, when on February 12, during the sanitization of the cell, he was taken for a walk in without warm clothes, without winter shoes, only in slippers and kept at a temperature -14 for about an hour”,- the message said.
Polozov noted that Ivan Yatskin was examined by a doctor who said that he had a mild degree of frostbite, but did not prescribe any special treatment.
We remind that in early December 2019, Russian security forces in the occupied Crimea detained Ivan Yatskin, a resident of Simferopol, on charges of alleged high treason. Subsequently, the man was transferred to Moscow. He was arrested until March 16, 2020. Ivan Yatskin's lawyer, Nikolai Polozov, signed a non-disclosure agreement in the so-called case.
