Savchenko five days without water – mass media

Nadiya Savchenko, a Ukrainian pilot illegally detained in Russia, for five days has been on a “dry” hunger strike, in which she is refusing both food and water.

The lawyer of Savchenko, Mark Feygin, has no information on her state of health, according to Gazeta.ua.

The Ukrainian pilot is in a detention center in the city of Novocherkassk, Rostov region, Russia. Earlier, the detention center chief had warned Savchenko they would start force-feeding her if needed.

In addition, Ukrainian doctors were denied access to the military pilot. And Savchenko doesn’t let Russian doctors examine her.
