His wife and mother visit Oleg Danilov in the penal colony. They are given the opportunity to communicate for almost 3 hours. According to the believer, he was sick recently, but now he feels better thanks to the care of relatives and friends - they give him food and other necessary things. Despite the requests of the believer, the doctor did not examine him, did not carry out treatment.

Oleg is being held in the same cell with fellow believer Aleksandr Shcherbina and two other prisoners. They are allowed to walk in the fresh air every day for an hour and a half. Oleg has a Bible, although in one of the transit pre-trial detention centers they tried to take it away.

Oleg Danilov was transferred to correctional colony No. 11 in the Krasnodar Territory. The information is being specified.

The lawyer visits Oleg Danilov, who is in quarantine after arriving at the colony. The believer is kept in a 13-bed cell. He has good relations with his cellmates. Oleg is allowed to make a phone call to his family.

In general, Oleg is healthy, he learned to fight colds with folk remedies. Reading the Bible helps him stay emotionally alert. Letters of support are received by the colony, but they have not yet been handed over to the addressee.

It becomes known that from September 25 to November 2, 2021, Oleg Danilov was in a punishment cell, after which he was placed in solitary confinement. After November 2, 2021, the believer was transferred to serve his sentence in strict conditions of detention.

Natalia Danilova sends an appeal to the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Krasnodar Territory, Sergey Valentinovich Myshak. The believer's wife asks him to pay attention to the arbitrary toughening of punishment for her husband, which is imposed by the staff of colony No. 11 in the Krasnodar Territory. Nataliya writes: "A peaceful, kind, conflict-free man, a responsible, honest worker, a wonderful father and a wonderful husband was condemned only because he was one of Jehovah's Witnesses. In his case there are no victims, no victims, no damage caused. There are no signs of extremism as such, but only the fact of professing one's faith. But this destroys all confidence in the legal system, kills the sense of security, undermines confidence in the Constitution as a guarantor of rights and freedoms."

Natalia Danilova also notes: "Immediately after his arrival, while still in quarantine, he was told that he would be sent to the SUS due to the severity of his article ... I wrote a petition for verification to the prosecutor's office for supervision, to which I was told that the detention in the punishment cell was legal and justified. But how can a decision on punishment taken in advance, before the actions committed, be justified?

Oleg Danilov's detention in the punishment cell is extended for another 12 days. However, on the same day, without any explanation, Danilov was transferred to a medical facility in the colony for examination.

While Natalia Danilova's appeal is under consideration, she still cannot transfer the necessary things and products to her husband.
