Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, Liudmyla Denisova, has asked Russian human rights commissioner Tatiana Moskalkova to transfer Ukrainian film director Oleh Sentsov, who has been on hunger strike in a Russian penal colony, to Moscow for treatment.
Denisova says an appeal of Sentsov’s mother to the Russian president with a request to pardon her son has already been referred to a special commission, according to her Facebook post following talks with Moskalkova.
