"Today I sent a statement to the Investigative Committee of Russia on providing state protection to Evgeny Makarov," Biryukova wrote on her Facebook page.
Eight people have already been arrested in the case of beating a prisoner in a Yaroslavl colony.
Biryukova also spoke about the reasons for the conflict between the convict and the colony's employees. According to her, the quarrel flared up after the search in the cell, during which the FSIN worker dropped a letter on the floor from the prisoner's mother and stepped on him with his foot.
