Sentsov declares his condition normal

Doctors have examined Oleg Sentsov, a citizen of Ukraine, convicted in Rostov-on-Don, the local branch of the Russian Penitentiary Administration (known as FSIN) has reported today.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on May 14, Oleg Sentsov, a Ukrainian film director, convicted in Rostov-on-Don to 20 years in a high-security colony, went on an endless hunger strike, demanding to release all the Ukrainian prisoners kept in Russia. Today, it became known that Stanislav Klykh, a citizen of Ukraine, who was convicted in Chechnya, has also declared a hunger strike.

Oleg Sentsov "is under constant medics' supervision," the FSIN's branch for the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area has reported today, adding that on June 8, a regular doctors' consultation was held, after they examined Sentsov and made their recommendations.

On June 7, Oleg Sentsov himself wrote in a letter to the Ukrainian rights defenders Nikolai and Tatiana Schur that he felt well.

Today, the Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has discussed by phone the issues of custody conditions of the Ukrainians convicted in Russia with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Mr Poroshenko expressed his concern over the worsening health condition of the Ukrainians, who went on a hunger strike in Russian jails, his administration has reported today. "It was agreed that in the near future, the prisoners will be visited by both countries' Ombudspersons," says the administration's website.
