Prisoners suffering from tuberculosis in penal colony YUK-2SHCH/YA in Orenburg, began a mass protest action against on January 12th against the illegal actions of the colony’s administration. They rejected medicine and medical procedures.
As reported on January 19th to the public movement "For the Rights of Man", by the Orenburg provincial public organization "Assistance and Protection", a statement addressing human rights activists was signed by 113 people.
The protest action was caused by the actions of administrators during a planned search of the property of prisoners on January 12th. Bed linen, pillows and mattresses were torn, personal effects were taken, and food reserves were trampled. Sick prisoners were threatened with SHIZO or PKT (penalty isolation). It should be noted that there is severe frost in Orenburg.
If the administration does not return the prisoner’s personal effects or any participants in the protest action are placed in SHIZO, the prisoners intend to declare a hunger strike.
