I will provide additional details about the conditions of my imprisonment. Right now I am held in a small, dark, cockroach-filled, non-ventilated cell where there is a penis instead of a toilet (the same conditions apply to all political prisoners here).
1 October will mark five years of my imprisonment. Exactly as long as Servan-tes spent in prison.
Holding someone in such a cell for that length of time, according to international standards, amounts to torture and inhuman treatment. The prison is located on territory adjoining the Rustavi cement plant, which belongs to Ivani-shvili, and from there we are continually exposed to the carcinogenic dust from this plant, which makes breathing difficult.
Unlike 99% inmates, I have been forbidden to telephone during all this time (recently only allowed to speak with Alice for a few minutes per week), despite this being provided for by law.
I am denied a meeting with the Ukrainian consul, access to Ukrainian printed materials and video content. For some reason, my lawyers are forbidden from bringing photos, including photos of my children and granddaughter. There have also been repeated refusals to allow visits by numerous international, government, and parliamentary delegations.
In a single word, they treat me like a prisoner of war, but here the Geneva Convention is not followed. All of this—as well as my torture and poisoning at the beginning—was, of course, designed to break me, but that honor will never be granted to Ivani-shvili or his master in Moscow.
