Ukrainian citizen Stanyslav Klykh, sentenced to 20 years for participation in hostilities during the First Chechen War, has been transferred to a hospital in the Urals, his lawyer Ilya Novikov told Interfax.
“My client was recently transferred to a hospital in the Chelyabinsk region, I don’t yet know on what grounds,” Novikov said on August 28.
The transfer from the penal colony to the hospital could be caused by the exacerbation of Klykh’s chronic illnesses, he said.
Earlier, Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Valeria Lutkovska sent a letter to her Russian counterpart Tatyana Moskalkova requesting information on Klykh’s whereabouts.
