Andrei Sannikov was taken bad in court

However the judge refused to grant a request to provide medical assistance to the presidential candidate.

The trial over the presidential candidate lasts for the 8th day, since early morning till late night. The defendants have to sit in a stuffy room for 8-10 hours, recesses are very short, and they do not have enough time for a lunch.

Today by day’s end Andrei Sannikov stated that he needs medial aid: he had gout aggravation. The politician also said that he asked for a specialized medical treatment earlier, however his request was not met. In the KGB remand prison prisoners are examined by a paramedic only. His skills are not sufficient for rendering medical assistance.

Lawyers asked to append to the materials of the case the previous motions of Sannikov for rendering medical assistance to him. However, the prosecutorial agent argued against. Judge Natallya Chatvyartkova has not affirmed the motion.

We remind that before the detention on December 19 Andrei Sannikov was brutally beaten up by special task forces. He was taken to the KGB remand prison with his broken legs. Sannikov’s several chronic diseases have aggravated in prison.
