Severinets: In the punishment cell, a person is consciously and purposefully driven to disability
Pavel Severinets wrote on his Facebook about how he encountered prison medicine in the pre-trial detention center (SIZA).
«Mikalai Statkevich did not 'suffer a stroke'. Mikalai Statkevich was driven to a stroke. They know how to — break arms and legs, rupture hearts, and puncture stomachs even without laying a hand on them.
Towards the end of my time in the Akrestsina punishment cells, somewhere in the third month, my knees started aching. I couldn't sleep. After two days of demanding a doctor, he appeared.
— Well?
— My legs hurt. I guess I walk a lot in the cell (I deliberately walked 25-30 km a day, two meters back and forth, to pass out from exhaustion).
— Aha, — the doctor rumbled contentedly and doled out ibuprofen to me. — Finally.
— What do you mean, — I say, — finally?
— Well, we kept wondering when it would happen... It's your joints. Joints. It's from walking, it's always like this here... It's normal.
In the punishment cell, a person is consciously and purposefully driven to disability. Prison doctors only record 'where it's thin' (i.e., where they are weakest) in a particular prisoner whom the authorities have decided to break – and then the prisoner is transferred to an appropriate cell.
And there are torture chambers to choose from.
Freezing cells, to break bones. Solitary cells – 'coffins', where they are walled up for months. Drafty 'pipes' for those with weak lungs...
This is a system where everything is subordinate to the main goal. If they don't break morally – we'll break them physically. The disobedient, their own 'pawns' who messed up, 'connected' ones, and, of course, political prisoners.
When you don't get enough sleep for weeks due to the cold, you start seeing hallucinations, you hit your head on the tiles because you suddenly black out during the day, and repeatedly receive 'DP' (disciplinary punishment) — the only question is what will knock you out first: an ulcer (because the body eats itself), pneumonia, a stroke, a heart attack, or madness.
They don't just know everything perfectly there – they purposefully and technologically crush a person. And this is a blatant criminal offense.
Neither morally nor psychologically have they broken Mikalai Statkevich," Pavel Severinets wrote.
