Political prisoner Timur Yalkabov, who has chronic asthma, was not given inhalers by the occupants of the prison. Preliminarily, all the necessary medications were sent by the relatives of the political prisoner to prison number 1 in Dmitrovgrad, Ulyanovsk region. This was reported by the wife of the political prisoner Alie Yalkabova.
‘Medication sent on time, however, the doctor was on holiday. The administration gave my husband the wrong medication, which did not help him,’ – the woman noted.
After another attack, the staff still took out one inhaler from a parcel from relatives.
‘The doctor came out in September from leave, and only then the political prisoner was given all the medicines,’ Alie stressed.
