Alexander Kinev* was transferred from a general cell for 30 people to a new cell, with "normal plumbing equipment". The political scientist started a hunger strike - he couldn't go to the bathroom in the hole-hole with a cast on his leg 18+. This material (information) is produced, distributed and (or) sent by a foreign agent of the online publication "NOVAYA GAZETA" or relates to the activities of a foreign agent of the online publication "NOVAYA". Lawyer Mikhail Biryukov said that his client, political scientist Alexander Kinev, was transferred to a new cell in the pre-trial detention center No. 4 "Dov" after a forced hunger strike. In the previous cell, which housed more than 30 people, the conditions were such that Kinev, with his leg in a cast, could not use the hole toilets, which is why he refused to eat. In the new cell, Kinev has four cellmates and "standard plumbing equipment," Biryukov said. "Alexander is very moved by the support that different people, sometimes strangers to him, express to him in letters, and thanks everyone," the lawyer wrote. On October 26, the media reported that Kinev stopped eating due to the inhumane conditions created for him in a cell with 35 prisoners and a hole in the toilet. "Because of the cast on his leg, which was broken in two places, he cannot go to the bathroom. That's why he doesn't eat. We have taken all possible measures to ensure that he will be transferred today to conditions suitable for his health condition," the lawyer said at the time. The political scientist was arrested on September 25 on charges of attempted drug trafficking. During the arrest, Kinev was seriously injured - he suffered broken legs just then. On the same day he was arrested and put in a pre-trial detention center, but he does not admit guilt. Kinev is a well-known researcher of Russian regional elites. He actively addressed the elections to the State Duma and regional parliaments that ended on September 20. On October 27, a report was opened against Kinev as part of the "Foreign Agent" article - the arrested person allegedly violated the procedure for reporting this status. * The Ministry of Justice included him in the register of foreign agents.
