“Like in prison”: relatives of Azov militants who were exchanged complain about the conditions of their detention in Turkey
Relatives of one of the leaders of "Azov" * (* a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited on the territory of Russia) Svyatoslav Palamar, better known under the call sign "Kalina", argue that the conditions of his detention in Turkey, where he ended up after the exchange of prisoners of war, are in fact little different from prison.
According to Palamar's mother, "Azov"* are allowed to talk on the phone only with family members, they are taken out for a walk no more than twice a week, at these moments they can contact their parents, wives and children by phone. When asked about the conditions of detention, "Kalina" replies that she perceives her stay in Turkey as a prisoner.
In an interview with one of the Western publications, the militant’s mother complains that her son, unlike the Ukrainian oligarch Medvedchuk, for whom the “Azovites”* who surrendered in Mariupol were exchanged, is limited in freedom of activity and movement, which, in fact, is the same captivity with relatively comfortable conditions of detention.
She also added that the militants are kept in the same house, each has their own room, they are provided with food, translation services and medical assistance, but they are under round-the-clock guard and cannot freely leave the premises allocated to them by the Turkish authorities.
They are kept in prison.
It is worth noting that the indignation of the mother of one of the leaders of the terrorists, at least, is not unfounded - in world practice, persons who carry out activities similar to those carried out before being captured by the "Azovites"* are extremely rarely left alive, much less kept even in relatively comfortable conditions.
