On May 29th, the Tagilstroevsky Court of Lower Tagil reviewed the petition of the disciplinary commission of penal colony IR -13 concerning political prisoner Mikhail Trepashkin's transfer from the colony-setting to the general regime. The court put off the hearings because of the assault of bronchial asthma Mikhail Trepashkin suffered in the court room. The emergency doctor decided he must be taken to the hospital.
The court was also set to examine Trepashkin’s complaint about the actions of the colony’s administration, which has subjected him to disciplinary penalties.
Mikhail Trepashkin’s defense attorney Lyubov Kosik reported to a correspondent of PRIMA –News that the colony administration objected to Trepashkin’s hospitalization, but the judge stated that Trepashkin must be examined, otherwise the court would not be able to proceed. Doctors established that Mikhail Trepashkin has severe bronchial asthma, which makes it possible to release him from serving out his sentence. Kosik reported that he intended to submit a petition to the court on these grounds.
According to information available at 5: 30 pm Moscow time, Trepashkin is still in the hospital. The acting chief of IR-13, Magerramov, arrived there wanting to drive Trepashkin back to the colony. Lyubov Kosik reported this to another of Trepashkin’s attorneys, Elena Liptser.
Mikhail Trepashkin was found guilty of divulging state secrets. Human rights activists and Trepashkin’s attorneys consider the charges against him to be fabricated.
