Russia hides information about the state of health of Ukrainian political prisoners kept in Russia, Verkhovna Rada Human Rights Commissioner Liudmyla Denisova has said.
“I state that Russia is hiding the real state of health of Ukrainian prisoners. No access to them for independent humanitarian organizations and ICRC [International Committee of the Red Cross] is given. We do not know the truth about the state of their health. The contradictory statement about the state of health of [Oleh] Sentsov makes us think that he could be force-fed,” Denisova said at a briefing in Moscow on Friday, reports by Interfax-Ukraine.
