Russia releases photo of hunger-striking director Sentsov
Russia's prison service released Saturday a rare photograph of Ukrainian film director Oleg Sentsov on day 139 of his hunger strike in an Arctic colony where he is serving 20 years on terror charges.
The photograph showed a medic listening to Sentsov's chest. The 42-year-old Kremlin-opponent -- who is 1.9 metres tall -- looked visibly gaunt, thinner and considerably older.
On Friday, the Federal Penitentiary Service said Sentsov was taken to a state hospital in Labytnangi -- a town above the Arctic Circle where he is being held -- for "additional examination and consultations with medical specialists."
