Elena Liptser: Trepashkin's life is in danger
The health of ex-FSB officer Mikhail Trepashkin, who is serving his four-year punishment for disclosure of state secrets, has seriously aggravated recently.

Trepashkin, who is suffering from bronchial asthma with allergic component, are aggravated by the chemical enterprise, located close to the colony in Nizhni Tagil, where he is serving his term.
