The total isolation, which was created by the administration of penal colony No. 9 (Horki) with respect to Mikhail Zhamchuzhny, was finally broken: a letter from a political prisoner was received by human rights activist Tatyana Revyako.
As it became known from the letter, the political prisoner from Viciebsk Mikhail Zhamchuzhny from April 10, when he was placed in a chamber type room (PKT), sent 33 letters to his colleagues, friends and acquaintances. Regarding four sheets, the political prisoner was offered to familiarize himself with the acts of their destruction, as they "contained jargon, cynicism and official information". The remaining letters probably did not leave the colony for unknown reasons.
After Mikhail Zhamchuzhny learned that many of his addressees did not receive his letters, on May 18 he sent a complaint to the Mahiloŭ Oblast Prosecutor's Office to create obstacles in correspondence. The political prisoner notes that the problems with correspondence also affected the document circulation with the courts: twice his additions to the materials of cassation complaints came to the courts after the meetings had been held.
Mikhail Zhamchuzhny said that on May 14 he was visited by the prosecutor of the Mahiloŭ region, who considers his complaint about beating in the sanitation unit and food poisoning. According to the prisoner, the lost results of fluoroscopy, which was carried out after applying to the medical unit after poisoning, were repeated on the initiative of doctors and confirmed the fact of damage to the stomach. Doctors advised Mikhail Zhamchuzhny to write a statement on the diet and "to eat a little." The political prisoner is worried that he has not been allowed to buy vitamins at his own expense for three months already. He did not receive a single reply to three statements to the colony's chief in this regard.
The political prisoner, despite the disappointment of visiting the colony by the observation commissions in March, intends to contact the public monitoring commission under the main justice department of the Mahiloŭ regional executive committee and the Republican commission to visit the colony and meet with him to find out the circumstances of the difficult conditions of detention.
Earlier, a complaint against obstacles in correspondence, created for Mikhail Zhamchuzhny, was sent to human rights activist Tatyana Revyako by the head of PC No. 9. She did not receive an answer to the complaint from the administration of the colony.
