Summary

Olga Medvedeva told Novaya Gazeta that saxophonist Andrei Shibanov, who is serving a six-year sentence at Samara Penal Colony No. 10, was beaten twice for refusing to clean. Medvedeva suggested that the violence may be connected to his complaints about his conditions of detention; according to her, he is made to clean common areas and sinks, although this work is contraindicated for him because of his health. According to preliminary information, Shibanov has a Group II disability, a serious spinal condition and progressive psoriasis.
