Political prisoner Oleg Prykhodko is systematically subjected to psychological pressure in correctional colony 2 of the Krasnodar Region. His daughter Natalia informed the ZMINA Human Rights Center about this.
The political prisoner is constantly in an information vacuum, as he is kept in solitary confinement: he is not allowed to call his relatives and the family does not receive information about what is happening to him. The daughter was able to contact her father during his stage from Vladimir to Krasnodar.
“He called us, asked if we were receiving his letters? And we received only two, although he wrote dozens of them. And we gave him dozens. They don’t even give our letters to him”,- she said.
They also don’t allow Prykhodko to meet his relatives.
“They intimidate him to go to the conditions of the jailers. He said that they might come to us, throw something up, and we would have problems. Then I told him not to succumb to any provocations”,- she said.
