According to the Federal Penitentiary Service, on September 28 he underwent a “treatment correction.” The director has been on hunger strike for the 139th day.

On the same day, Friday, the head of the Human Rights Council under the President of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Fedotov, assessed Sentsov’s condition as “stable, without negative dynamics.” As stated in his letter to the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova, doctors indicated that the director’s life was not in danger, and there were no medical indications for force-feeding.

On Thursday, human rights activist Zoya Svetova, who received a letter from Oleg Sentsov, told Radio Liberty that “his health and mood change depending on the weather, he has become very weather dependent.” According to her, Sentsov’s body “is now on the brink” and “he lives at the limit of his capabilities.”

“No matter what the FSIN employees say to the top, to the Kremlin, no matter what some representatives of the special services tell Putin about Oleg Sentsov’s condition, I am afraid that they are not telling the truth,” she told the publication.

She added that the director wrote a will on his work.

Recall Sentsov was detained in May 2014, in Simferopol. He was accused of preparing the attack. According to the FSB, on the night of 9 in May 2014, he and several other defendants were going to make explosions at the Eternal Flame memorial and a monument to Lenin in Simferopol. They were also accused of setting fire to the offices of the offices of United Russia and the Russian Community of Crimea.

Sentsov was taken out of the Crimea, he was tried by the district military court in Rostov-on-Don. The Russian justice considers him a citizen of Russia, although the director did not recognize the annexation of the Crimea and refused to receive a Russian passport. He denied any involvement in the preparation of the explosions.

In August, 2015, the North Caucasian District Military Court found Sentsov guilty of organizing a terrorist community and sentenced him to 20 years of a strict regime colony. Along with him, was convicted activist Alexander Kolchenko, who was given 10 years in prison.

The director during the trial stated that he explained his persecution with his position on what is happening in Ukraine. During the events of spring 2014, the director supported the campaign for the territorial integrity of Ukraine and brought products to the Ukrainian military, blocked in military units.

The accusations against the director were based on the testimony of witnesses. Alexei Chirniy and Gennady Afanasyev, accused in the same case, refused to speak at court, accusing the investigation of torture. Sentsov himself spoke about beatings and torture by FSB officers after his arrest.

Soon after, Afanasyev was pardoned by Vladimir Putin. After his release, he was appointed Special Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine for the release of prisoners.
