Dmitry Talantov, 61, head of Udmurtia law chamber and Ivan Safronov’s lawyer, has no place to sleep in Moscow’s pre-trial detention centre #4, his lawyer Daniil Berman reports.
The facility is so overcrowded that people are forced to sleep on the floor with no mats or rolls. “Dmitry refused to sleep like that and spent the last night sitting on the bench,” Berman says.
Talantov is diagnosed with hypertension. Berman filed a complaint against the facility on the matter, and received a response that there is no help for it since the facility is extremely overcrowded: six hundred people are kept there above quota.
“The disabled are forced to sleep on the floor,” he added.
