Relatives think that figurant in the "Neva-Express" case needs hospitalization

According to brother of Salambek Dzakhkiev, a defendant in the case of blowing up the "Neva-Express", who is now kept at the SIZO (pre-trial facility) of Novgorod, Salambek needs hospitalization and thorough treatment.

"He suffers from frequent loss of consciousness and stomach and heart attacks. He is constantly taking the pills brought to him by first aid teams, which periodically visit him. Medical people come to see him almost every day, as his health condition is unstable, and he often feels bad," Bashir Dzakhkiev, Salambek's elder brother, said to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

According to Bashir, Dzakhkiev's relatives want to insist on his careful treatment or hospitalization, and think that keeping a person in such condition in SIZO is a violation of Russian legislation.
