Political prisoner from Crimea transferred to women's colony in Stavropol

Irina Danilovich, a civilian journalist and nurse sentenced to almost seven years, was transferred from the pre-trial detention center to the women's colony No. 7 in the city of Zelenokumsk (Stavropol Territory).

At the end of 2022, the Feodosia city court found 43-year-old Irina Danilovich guilty of carrying an improvised explosive device. The defendant and her lawyers claimed that explosives were planted on her, and FSB officers used physical violence against her.

In the pre-trial detention center, the Crimean nurse practically lost her hearing, she developed otitis, dizziness and headaches. In connection with the failure to provide medical assistance, Danilovich was forced to declare a dry hunger strike, but after 10 days she interrupted it.
