“The latest sentence against me is not yet enforceable but I have heard rumors that he will be transferred to the maximum security prison in Melekhovo, where the inmates are torn off their nails.” It is the latest tweet from the official profile of the Russian opponent Aleksei Navalny, currently in prison, who, as he often does, concludes with sarcasm: “Well, at least he will have an excuse to use this trendy emoji”, he writes, adding the hand emoji. with enamel.
In March, Navalny was found guilty in yet another trial against him for “fraud and insulting a judge”: he was sentenced to nine years in a maximum security prison far from Moscow. In a separate tweet, the spokeswoman for the most famous Russian opponent, Kira Yarmish, explained that “the penal colony where Putin has ordered to transfer Navalny is number 6 in the city of Melekhovo, in the Vladimir region”.
The spokesperson collected in a thread several testimonies about the treatments in this prison and concluded: “It is a monstrous place even by the insane standards of Russian prisons.” “There is no law there,” she denounced, “this is where Putin wants to beat Navalny for not being afraid of him and for having told the truth.”
