Imprisoned Russian anti-war activist Ivan Kudryashov has been forcibly transferred to a psychiatric clinic less than two weeks after he ended his 40-day hunger strike to demand guards respect his rights. Kudryashov's lawyer, Maksim Kharchenko, said on August 2 that he found his client in "a motionless state" in a psychiatric clinic for convicts, where he was transferred from his penitentiary for what guards told Kharchenko was "inadequate behavior." The guards also said they tied his client up because he "may hurt himself or people around him." No further explanation was given, Kharchenko said.
