“With the assistance of the commission, doctors were found who, at their own expense, made dentures for Shiring, he received them on March 11,” the POC representative said.
As RT previously reported, Konstantin Shiring is accused of espionage.
In the spring of 2020, he and his wife were detained by FSB officers on a street in Feodosia and taken to Moscow for further investigation of the case.
Shearing left his dentures at home, and in the capital's pre-trial detention center barely managed without them for almost a year.
The wife could not send the prostheses to Moscow, since she herself is under house arrest.
Shiring had no money on his personal account in the pre-trial detention center to pay for the manufacture of prostheses.
“In this situation, human rights defenders and doctors, having united their efforts, were able to help, but the problem of dental prosthetics in prisons still needs to be solved at the expense of budgetary funds,” the Moscow POC noted.
"Now this is a paid service, for which prisoners do not always have money, especially foreigners who have no relatives in Russia."
