And after that about those who are already in the women's prison in Riga: the daily life of the prisoner of Iveta Baloda.
Ivota Baloda is the wife of the creator of the Telegram channel "Anti-Fascists of the Ballets". For three text messages to her husband with photographs (one, for example, had a streak in the sky left by a plane), she was accused of spying for Russia and has been in prison since January 9. Iveta came to visit her elderly parents - her and her husband. And in the end she ended up in prison. She will turn 60 on November 25th.
These are excerpts from her letter to my colleagues Ella Barzovsky:
"Aluchka, my dear, hello! In October, we only saw each other for a short time after a court hearing, a convoy was waiting for me, but even that moment was enough, with your help, for my family and friends, who were denied the opportunity to see, hug, talk, see me. One moment of autumn, and so many positive emotions. thanks!
... I haven't taken the news printouts yet, because there is a lot of writing, but I am satisfied with the previous one. Of course, I learn about all our prisoners from your analysis as a doctor, I especially enjoy articles on health. Advice from D.I. Vagina, a. A. Mikulin - how to live up to 100 years, what can you eat after 50, how to simply take care of yourself - all this is important to prisoners. I also tell my old mother something about you, otherwise she eats little there without me, drinks little, on pills thank God, we have a good family, she has her finger on the pulse, but I, being there, fed her and walked her...
... You stated everything right about my court hearing. I can only believe cautiously and objectively, hope for a miracle, although you correctly stated: it is difficult to believe in something when the surrounding madness continues. And yet, it is hard not to notice that 9/10 of the materials in my case, the "legend" of my children who are not my children, are not dedicated to me and ¾ of the accusations are not against me. Indeed, she fell under the hot hand, ran through but in 1/10 and a quarter of the remaining parts there are only loud and declarative statements without evidence.
