Serhiy Kuznetsov, suspected in the Nord Stream sabotage case, claims in a letter that he is being held in isolation with limited opportunities for physical exercise in an Italian prison, which may indicate that he is being forced to confess. This is reported by BBC, according to UNN.
Details
As the publication writes, the lawyer of Serhiy Kuznetsov, a former Ukrainian special forces officer arrested in Italy on suspicion of sabotaging Nord Stream in 2022, released his letter.
Kuznetsov has been on a hunger strike for the 10th day, because, according to him, he is being treated like "criminal number one."
He is held in a high-security prison, in isolation and with limited opportunities for physical exercise. He is denied a vegetarian diet. He believes that all this is being done to force him to confess, but nothing will come of it
Recall
49-year-old Ukrainian Serhiy Kuznetsov, suspected in the Nord Stream sabotage case, refuses to eat since October 31. He is protesting against the conditions of detention in a high-security prison in Italy and demands respect for his rights.
Dmytro Lubinets, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, sent a letter to the Italian Ministry of Justice regarding Serhiy Kuznetsov, who was arrested in Italy on suspicion of involvement in the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines and is being held in inappropriate conditions.
