Political prisoner Andrey Kolomiets , who was sentenced to 10 years in prison in the occupied Crimea, has been extended his term in a punishment cell. This was reported by the Crimean Human Rights Group.
“Andrey , being in the punishment cell, due to back pain and fatigue, leaned against the wall of the cell and dozed off. At that moment, employees of the colony entered the camera, took a picture, and drew up a report on it”,- explained the wife of the political prisoner, Halyna.
We remind that a resident of the Kyiv region, Andrey Kolomiets , was detained on the territory of Kabardino-Balkaria in May 2015 on suspicion of drug possession. After the arrest, the Ukrainian was brought to Crimea and accused of attempted murder of two Crimean Berkut members. According to the prosecution and the lawyer, only two black-and-white photographs of the allegedly burnt uniforms of these Berkut members are only evidence. In June 2016, Ukrainian activist Andrey Kolomiets was sentenced to 10 years in prison in a strict regime colony. The court sentenced him to 6 years for allegedly attacking Berkut servicemen in Kyiv during the events on the Maidan, and another 4 years for drugs allegedly found in his possession.
