Elena Liptser: Trepashkin's life is in danger
The health of ex-FSB officer Mikhail Trepashkin, who is serving his four-year punishment for disclosure of state secrets, has seriously aggravated recently.
Elena Liptser, Trepashkin's advocate, reports that "he had two most severe attacks during which he was close to death," the "Echo Moskvy" Radio reports.
At the same time, in the advocate's words, Trepashkin "does not receive the required medication and normal treatment". Ms Liptser has added that the health problems of M. Trepashkin, who is suffering from bronchial asthma with allergic component, are aggravated by the chemical enterprise, located close to the colony in Nizhni Tagil, where he is serving his term.
