In particular, the former governor of the Kirov region Nikita Belykh, the former head of Komi Vyacheslav Gaizer, Mari El - Leonid Markelov, and the former governor of Sakhalin Alexander Khoroshavin were in Lefortovo, who was in jail No. 1 of the Federal Penitentiary Service, which is located next to Matrosskaya Tishina, where Belozertsev is now sitting, ”the RT interlocutor recalled.
According to the POC, Belozertsev "has no questions about the conditions of detention."
The former governor told human rights activists that he was sitting in a four-bed cell without a TV, but with a refrigerator.
