Stomakhin transferred to Nizhni Novgorod pre-trial prison

Boris Stomakhin, author of the "Caucasus-Center" site, convicted for instigating racial hostility and extremism, has been transferred from Moscow to Nizhni Novgorod pre-trial prison.

"Boris' state of health is very bad. His back aches - broken backbone. His leg broken at the time of arrest aches. He has a toothache. On June 10, he fainted during a heart attack caused by an old cardio-vascular disease. He is provided virtually no medical assistance. The parcels which Nizhni Novgorod human rights activists tried to send him were not accepted," relates Boris Stomakhin's mother.

As the "Caucasian Knot" reported earlier, on May 23, 2007, Moscow city court upheld the ruling (passed on November 20, 2006) with regard to Boris Stomakhin, chief editor of the "Radical Politics" bulletin, convicted to 5 years of imprisonment to be served in an ordinary prison.

Karen Nerseyan, Stomakhin's lawyer, thinks that the true reason for conviction was the journalist's critics of federal authorities.
