Oleg Navalny, Vladimir Gusinsky and TV – Ekho Moskvy radio station

«first condition fixes – consciousness of guilt.” “The love of liberty – the flower of the prison. Only in prison feel the price of freedom. ” “Politeness generates politeness and causes».

Such slogans hang on more transparency on all floors Butyrskaya. Judging by the font to show these simple truths, they are here for a long time, probably since the Soviet era. Maybe those who then sat remember whether they had seen something like this.

And now, on January 11, 12. 45, 2nd floor Butyrskaya. Go down the corridor – from the chamber hears the prayers in Arabic.

Go to Oleg Navalnomu- it in the same four-seater chamber. But they are only two in the chamber.

«Prison strikes a positive point of view, says Bukovsky Navalnyy.- read the book” And the wind returns “: there is some trash. In this sense, there is much better than it was then. Book reassured ».

In the cell there is no TV, no radio receiving station works. Oleg Navalny and his neighbor did not know anything about the terrorist attack in Paris. Had to spend a brief political information. On holidays in prisons all life dies. E-mails are not coming, lawyers are not allowed in the prison library does not work, doctors do not treat, statements from prisoners taken.

Oleg told that Christmas brought greetings from the staff of the local priest – chocolate and socks.

«It is strange that in the Christmas bells did not ring – surprised Oleg, because here we have a church in the yard».

In Butyrka’s not quite as on the outside. Christmas service is scheduled for January 12. Waiting Bishop Krasnogorsky Irinarh, chairman of the Synodal Department of the Moscow Patriarchate on prison ministry.

Oleg Navalny asked to be transferred to Castaneda’s books, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” – he did not read Marquez in the wild. And most importantly – the Criminal Procedure Code, the Criminal Code and PEC. Teach Yourself Spanish.

It’s amazing: in Butyrka, as in other detention centers a great lack of legal codes. The staff explained that the Moscow prisons now more than 10 thousand people, most turnover.

When asked why, in almost all cells have TVs and Oleg Navalny – no, the answer is standard: Not in stock. Televisions, too fast “end” prisoners break them all the time.

However, those who are a little heard about the prison everyday life, know that the TV in prison, it’s almost like a cigarette: for misbehavior TV could void . Also, if the investigation is keen to John Doe sat in isolation, a television in the camera will not put. To put the TV, you need a ask.

This is when it comes to ordinary prisoners, not political.

But the story of the political prisoner and a TV – a long-standing and special. I remember how literally years of lawyers and human rights activists, Platon Lebedev, begged the chief of “Sailor’s silence” Fikret Tagiyev to Lebedev put the camera in a TV and fridge. Lawyers say that they can buy a few refrigerators and televisions. Tagiyev erected eyes to the ceiling and muttered something unintelligible. TV set just a few weeks or months before departure Lebedev in the colony.

Let’s see how this will develop the soap opera “Oleg Navalny and a television in Butyrka».

Their good news: the complaint brothers Navalny on the sentence Zamoskvoreche Court to the European Court received priority. This means that it will consider relatively quickly. Maybe even before the expiry of Oleg Navalny.

In Strasbourg brothers Bulk complained under Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights – the right to liberty and security of the person, in this case, refers to, illegal detention custody. Complained under Article 6 – violation of the right to a fair trial Article 18 – “Limits on use of restrictions on rights.” Lawyers brothers Navalny believe that in respect of their principals was broken this article, you have not tried them for the crime, but “for other purposes”, in this case for political reasons.

Violation of Article 18 recognizes Strasbourg is rare. For example, it has been recognized on the complaint of Vladimir Gusinsky.

Let me remind you that in May 2004, the ECHR ruled that Russia must pay 88,000 euros Gusinsky.

It is also in this complaint was about the illegality of the arrest and prosecution of the relationship of the former owner of “Media-bridge” to the political pressure on him.

By the way, Vladimir Gusinsky was also sitting in the Butyrka. It was in 2000. He spent only a few days and remember, struck by the lack in cells televisions and refrigerators, promised to buy in jail 200 televisions and refrigerators.

It has been 15 years.

The problems are the same.

And in the policy.
And in respect of household appliances.
