Nagavkin stops hunger strike

On September 17, rights defender Igor Nagavkin decided to stop his hunger strike because of his health problems, his advocate Farit Murtazin reports.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on October 2, 2016, Igor Nagavkin was placed behind bars on a theft suspicion. He refused to plead guilty. On August 8, at the “Butyrka” SIZO (pre-trial prison), where he is kept, Nagavkin announced an endless hunger strike, demanding an impartial inquiry into his case.

Farit Murtazin said that Nagavkin "chose September 16 to be the last day of his refusal to eat." "On September 17, he’ll start quitting the hunger strike for his health reasons." He doesn’t give up his claims to his investigator and the prosecutor's office," said the advocate.

Igor Nagavkin, the chairman of the board of the Volgograd organization of social and legal protection of convicts and detainees and an expert of the All-Russian Movement For Human Rights in the Southern Federal District (SFD), was helping prisoners and their relatives, and drew attention to acts of torture and other violations of the rights of the people kept in custody.
