Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Alexander Dubinsky was taken from the pre-trial detention center to the hospital. He wrote about this on Tuesday, January 9, in his Telegram channel.
“I am now in the emergency hospital undergoing emergency surgery. <…> I turned to the doctors of the pre-trial detention center last night. Paramedics from the local morgue came, verbally diagnosed suspicion of “acute appendicitis” and left. And they didn’t call an ambulance,” the deputy shared.
According to Dubinsky, the administration of the pre-trial detention center called an ambulance only after the lawyers intervened. Before this, management responded that doctors could only be provided according to the requirements of paramedics.
“My lawyers will do all the necessary work and establish whether the reason for the operation was the result of a beating that he organized and ordered [генеральный прокурор Украины Андрей] Kostin or just impromptu – not to provide medical care, but there “no person – no problem,” he emphasized.
Dubinsky was arrested on November 14 by the decision of the Pechersky Court of Kyiv on suspicion of high treason and participation in a criminal organization. According to the judicial authorities, Dubinsky was part of a certain group whose activities were aimed at “discrediting the image of Ukraine” on the world stage in order to worsen relations between Kyiv and the United States and NATO countries.
On December 2, the lawyer of the arrested deputy, Ruslan Gladky, reported that Dubinsky, while in the Kiev pre-trial detention center (SIZO), was beaten. According to the lawyer, his client was able to tell him in a note about the beating, which lasted about two hours. Gladky noted that the man could have had a broken rib, as evidenced by a hematoma.
In addition, on December 12, Dubinsky’s Telegram channel reported that the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine (HACC) ordered the National Police to begin an investigation into the beating of a parliamentary deputy in a Kiev pre-trial detention center.
