Kremlin’s prisoner Iryna Danylovych cannot get required medication in a russian colony

Her relatives reported this to the ZMINA Human Rights Center.

The lack of treatment not only leads to constant earache but also to the fact that Danylovych regularly suffers from migraines. Despite this, she does not receive any medications that would ease her well-being.

At the same time, the Kremlin’s prisoner is restricted in her right to telephone communication with her loved ones. The colony administration refuses to add two subscribers with whom Danylovych would like to maintain contact to the list of contacts allowed for communication.

Such bans lead to additional moral pressure exerted on Danylovych in the colony, denying her medical care, human rights activists emphasized.

As earlier reported, Crimean human rights activist and citizen journalist Iryna Danylovych is being held in appalling conditions in a correctional colony in the Stavropol Territory of the russian federation.

The woman and other prisoners are forced to endure abuse from guards, drink water that tastes like dead meat (due to animal corpses in the water supply system), are forced to stand for hours in the rain and cold, and are deprived of food and proper medical care. The colony is also full of rats and cockroaches.

Iryna Danylovych is a nurse and public activist from Feodosia; she collaborated with the publication INzhyr Media and the human rights project Crimean Process. The woman defended the interests of medical workers on the peninsula: she joined an independent trade union. She wrote a lot about violations of their rights, for example, about underpayments for working with COVID-19 patients. She also maintained a social media page and several blog columns dedicated to the rights of medical workers and healthcare issues in the temporarily occupied Crimea.

FSB officers kidnapped her on April 29 and held her in the FSB basement until May 7 without any status or legal assistance. She was interrogated using a polygraph and subjected to psychological pressure: they promised to take her to the forest, to Mariupol and fed her once a day. She also stated this in an illegal “court” in Feodosia.

Despite the outrage of the international human rights community, on December 28, 2022, the Feodosia City Court announced the verdict of Iryna Danylovych. For alleged possession of explosives, she was sentenced to seven years in prison and a fine of RUB 50,000.

Danylovych suffers from severe headaches; she is suspected of having acute inflammation of the middle and inner ear. There is a threat of inflammation of the brain, which could lead to death.

On March 26, the EU Delegation to Ukraine expressed concern about the health of the illegally convicted Danylovych and called for her immediate medical care.

The United Nations Special Rapporteur Mary Lawlor called on russia to immediately release Danylovych.

In January 2025, the woman complained of a deterioration in the prisoner’s health, including constant headaches and ringing in the ears and head.

It was previously reported that Iryna Danylovych suffers from severe heart pain, which prevents her from sleeping properly.
