Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Liudmyla Denysova has said that, according to the information provided by Russian Ombudswoman Tatyana Moskalkova, Ukrainian political prisoner Stanislav Klykh is receiving care at a branch of the “Psychiatric Hospital. ”
“Klykh in December wrote an open letter in which he reported on his critical state of health – possible gangrene and suspicion of cancer. And I again urgently appealed to Moskalkova and Mikhail Fedotov [presidential adviser, Chairman of the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights under Russian President Vladimir Putin]. Now Moskalkova, referring to Russian jailers, reports that Klykh is in satisfactory condition under the supervision of a psychiatrist and is receiving treatment at the Psychiatric Hospital,” Denisova said on Facebook on Jan. 2.
Denysova in December reported on Klykh’s deteriorating health and intention to start a hunger strike. She then appealed to Moskalkova and Fedotov to intervene and ensure Klykh received necessary medical attention.
