The political prisoner Ivan Yatskin, who is accused of alleged high treason in the form of espionage, has severely deteriorated eyesight, but no one provides him with medical assistance. Moreover, the Moscow City Court extended the measure of restraint for the man until February 16, 2021. Lawyer Nikolai Polozov reported about it via his Facebook page.

“For almost 14 months of being in the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center, his eyesight has deteriorated. It was not very good before, and now even the old glasses do not help at all. There is no full-time ophthalmologist, and in general there is a fight against coronavirus”,- the message said.
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.
