On March 29 in the evening mother and wife of Syarhei Kavalenka, who continues his hunger strike, were waiting until the emergency physician who examined Syarhei, came out of the colony.
Alena Kavalenka says that certain medical procedures to maintain his husband’s condition would be prescribed as a result of this examination of her husband, who nevertheless continues hunger strike.
“He has not been hospitalized, but we were promised by the doctor from the colony, that they had created a scheme of arterial feeding for him. They say an IV has been made for him already, they put a cannula into an ulnar vein. Doctors stayed there for about and hour and a half, but we were not allowed to visit him, we were stopped from visiting him. Doctors were quickly led out, and the way was blocked for us, so that we would not be able to see him.”
As said by Alena Kavalenka, her husband will not just glucose would be administered to him, but another solution to keep up protein mass. Later a tube could be used, Nasha Niva writes.
