Wife of Dzianis Ivashyn: He was seriously ill, did not even have the strength to get out of the infirmary bed
Political prisoner journalist Dzianis Ivashyn spent ten days in the medical unit of Mogilev penal colony No. 15. Then he was exempted from work for another week. But he still doesn't feel completely healthy now.
Due to illness, there was no contact with Dzianis for several weeks. And only last Friday, November 6, his mother received a phone call, writes BAJ.
«From a brief conversation, the reason for the long break in communication with Dzianis became clear. He was seriously ill all this time (from 22.10 to 02.11), even ending up in the colony's medical unit.
The virus hit him so hard that Dzianis did not even have the strength to get out of the infirmary bed, let alone write us a letter or sign a postcard.
I won't even mention going to the phones,» — wrote Volha Ivashyna, the wife of the imprisoned journalist, on her Facebook page.
While there were no letters or phone calls from her husband, Volha assumed he might have been placed in a punishment cell (SHIZO). However, it turned out that Dzianis Ivashyn had been fighting a viral illness all this time.
The political prisoner's wife is convinced that precisely the harsh conditions in the colony and the inability to promptly provide prisoners with necessary medications and vitamins played a cruel role in this situation.
«Our Dzianis fell ill precisely due to a weakened immune system, caused by a lack of vitamins. The last time we passed him vitamins, it seems, was still in the pre-trial detention center of Hrodna prison. Dzianis used those vitamins sparingly almost throughout his prison term. But the supply cannot be endless, and transferring new vitamins, like any other medication, to a political prisoner in high-security colonies and prisons is an almost impossible quest, akin to separate «circles of hell»»," — notes Volha Ivashyna.
According to her information, from November 9, Dzianis is supposed to work in the colony under the same conditions as before his illness.
The political prisoner journalist, arrested in March 2021, has been in penal colony No. 15 since June 18, 2026. Prior to that, he spent 3 years in prison No. 8 in Zhodzina. The Mogilev colony was his first place of detention even before prison. It was there that he was sent at the end of January 2023, when the court verdict came into force, according to which Ivashyn was sentenced to 13 years of imprisonment and a huge fine.
