In a letter published on September 23rd, in addition to the threats, Nadezhda says that she and other inmates are forced to work sewing garments for 16-17 hours a day, in violation of the law.
Nadezhda plans to continue her hunger strike until her demands are met. These are: (a) transfer to another penal colony where she would not be subject to physical and psychological pressure that includes, as she claims, threats of physical violence, and (b) transfer from her sewing plant to one belonging to a different industry. Tolokonnikova has also sent the Investigative Committee a statement concerning the death threat made verbally by the deputy chief of the penal colony.
Please sign this petition and support the demands made by Tolokonnikova.
