We will remind, Oleg Sentsov together with Aleksandr Kolchenko was detained by representatives of the Russian special services in Crimea in may 2014 on charges of organizing attacks on the Peninsula.
In August 2015 the North Caucasus district military court in Rostov-on-don has sentenced Oleg Sentsov to 20 years in a strict regime colony. Kolchenko received 10 years in prison. Both pleaded not guilty.
May 14, 2018 Sentsov announced an indefinite hunger strike, demanding from the Russian authorities for the release of all Ukrainian political prisoners.
