Semenov's relatives are worried about his condition in the punishment isolation cell.

The climber from Karachay-Cherkessia, Mikhail Semenov, remains in the punishment isolation cell of the Moscow region colony and is not receiving medication, while official authorities respond to complaints with standard replies, his wife stated.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on August 29, the wife of Tiberda resident, sports master in climbing Mikhail Semenov, complained that he unsuccessfully sought medical assistance and complained about the conditions of detention first in the Cherkessk pre-trial detention center, and then in the Moscow region pre-trial detention center. Ekaterina Semenova emphasized that Mikhail is a disabled person of the II group and has a heart condition. On September 22, she reported that her husband in colony-settlement No. 3 in Elektrostal (Moscow region) is not given prescribed medications and is denied an ambulance call when his health worsens.

Climber Mikhail Semenov has still not been released from the punishment isolation cell (PICS) of colony-settlement No. 3 in Elektrostal, Moscow region, his wife Ekaterina Semenova told “Caucasian Knot”.

The woman reminded that her husband was placed in PICS on September 22. In October, he was briefly released from isolation for a trip to the hospital, but on the same day a new penalty was issued – for waking up before the morning rise to have breakfast before a trip scheduled for 7 a.m. After being discharged from the hospital, he was again placed in PICS.

“He is not receiving the necessary medication,” emphasized Ekaterina Semenova, also reminding that a medical examination was not conducted when her husband was placed in PICS.

In response to complaints sent regarding her husband's persecution in the colony-settlement, Semenova received replies from two agencies, but they did not provide any substantive information.

“So far, I have been informed that the Prosecutor General's Office and the main department of the FSIN are investigating this situation. But what they have managed to do, I do not know, as they have only sent these notifications so far,” she emphasized.

Ekaterina added that the Public Monitoring Commission (PMC) of the Moscow region did not conduct an inspection of the situation in the colony-settlement. “In the Moscow region, the PMC is just like in Karachay-Cherkessia, a complete sham. When its members come to the colony, only inmates who won’t say anything ‘bad’ are brought out to them,” she concluded.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that on September 10, the Elektrostal City Court did not satisfy the defense's request for the early conditional release of Mikhail Semenov.
