In a conversation with members of the commission, Ivanova said that she received threats about one and a half to two weeks ago.

Describing the incident, Ivanova added: "The X-ray showed that the ribs were intact."

“These words of hers gave the members of the commission grounds to assume that Ivanova's neighbors were not limited to threats.

It is hard to imagine that after verbal threats, a person checks whether his ribs are broken, ”said special correspondent for RT, a member of the Moscow Public Monitoring Commission Boris Klin, who visited the arrested woman in the detention center.

According to him, Ivanova refused to write an official statement about the beatings, but called on human rights activists to record that she was not going to commit suicide.

Ivanova told the commission members that the inmates who threatened her were motivated by the charges brought against her.

“Women's pre-trial detention centers and colonies have their own prison subculture.

In particular, there are extremely negative attitudes towards women accused of crimes against children.

And in relation to SIZO No. 6, the POC has already encountered such an appeal, "Klin explained.

For his part, a representative of the administration of SIZO No. 6 told the POC members that he had no information about the beating of Ivanova.

“We have information that a verbal skirmish took place between Ivanova and her former cellmates, after which Yuliana Ivanova was transferred to another cell.

An official check will be carried out on this incident, ”a member of the PMC quotes a representative of the pre-trial detention center.

The Basmanny Court of Moscow on July 16 arrested other defendants in the case of trafficking in babies from surrogate mothers - Roman Emashev, Vladislav Melnikov and Kirill Anisimov.
