A Person with a Traumatic Brain Injury is Being Treated for... Bronchitis
Kateryna Mykhailivna Trotsko, the mother of Serhiy Volodymyrovych Trotsko (born in 1989), who was sentenced to imprisonment, approached the KHPG public reception office. He is currently held in Sofiyivka Multi-profile Hospital No. 45, a branch of the State Institution ‘Healthcare Centre of the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine’ in Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions. His mother explained that her son had been sentenced to imprisonment for stealing a television. He had not previously complained about his health. Currently, his physical condition is extremely grave.
During his arrest in 2020, he was beaten by operational officers. While Serhiy was serving his sentence in Kropyvnytskyi Correctional Colony No. 6, he was accused of attempting to escape from the territory of the training centre where he was studying to become a ‘multi-skilled machine operator’. According to the court verdict, on 3 December 2021 at 11:20, S. V. Trotsko climbed onto the roof of a nail-manufacturing workshop and attempted to escape. We do not know whether it is possible, in broad daylight, to escape from the industrial zone of a secured facility equipped with a network of barbed wire, a guarded perimeter, a tracking strip, and soldiers on watchtowers, after all. We only know what is written in the court decision: Trotsko pleaded guilty and entered into a plea agreement with the prosecutor, for which the court handed down the minimum sentence. Once the court decision entered into force, Serhiy had three years and one month remaining until his release.
