Russian opposition leader and human rights activist Mark Feygin spoke about this Channel 24. He also noted that at the time when he defended Ukrainian political prisoners, two were not recognized as prisoners of conscience.
They were Savchenko and Sushchenko, all the arguments they cited were more than invented, says Feigin.
A prisoner of conscience is a person persecuted and often imprisoned for the peaceful expression of their political views. The term was coined in the early 1960s by the founder of Amnesty International, the British lawyer and human rights activist Peter Benenson. but at the time, they didn't do it, – explains the human rights activist.There was an interesting situation with Sushchenko, says Feigin – he was accused of espionage, he was a journalist. But given the accusations, the materials were classified, so Amnesty International did not grant him such status, because “they could not get acquainted with the data of the investigation,” summed up Mark Feygin.
