Unlawful food restrictions for Mikalai Statkevich
The former presidential candidate
Mikalai Statkevich who is kept in the Mahiliou cell-type prison
facility, still suffers from various restrictions and the
high-security prison regime.
Trying to pass a food parcel to
the husband, Maryna Adamovich found out that some quite usual
foodstuffs weren't passed to Statkevich for unknown and
incomprehensible reasons:
"The things one logically
passes to prison, weren't accepted: almost all fruit and vegetables.
The man who hasn't eaten anything of such a kind during 1.5 years,
lost the only opportunity for it. Why, for instance, one can pass
tomatoes, but cannot pass cabbage and carrot? It is a mystery for me.
Everything which he asked me to pass in his letter, wasn't accepted,"
says Maryna Adamovich.
The prison administration explains it
all by some "sanitation rules". However, the woman argues
that in this case it is quite illogical to ban passing honey and
allow sweets. At the same time she said that Mr. Statkevich never
complains about anything.
