Alexander Kolchenko, who was convicted in Russia on a charge of fabricated «Crimean terrorists» case, went on a hunger strike. This is reported by «Media Zone».

Kolchenko went on a hunger strike, demanding the release of filmdirector Oleg Sentsov. He has no other requirements. It is noteworthy that Sentsov went on a hunger strike on May 14, demanding the release of 64 Ukrainian political prisoners in Russia. According to Russian doctors, Sentsov started receiving supportive therapy.
Recall that representatives of Russian special services detained Oleg Sentsov and Alexander Kolchenko in the Crimea in May 2014, on charges in organizing terrorist attacks on the peninsula. Oleg Sentsov was sentenced to 20 years in a strict-regime colony, on charges of terrorist activities in the Crimea. Kolchenko was sentenced to 10 years.
As «The Journalist» earlier reported, action in support of Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov, who went on a hunger strike, was held outside Consulate of Russia in Kiev.
