Alena Kavalenka, the wife of hunger striker Syarhei Kavalenka, met with the prison chief and the medial unit chief.

They said Syarhei's condition can be characterized as moderately grave. Alena was told some processes ruining the health had already begun – Syarhei moves with difficulty, Radio Svaboda reports.

Alena Kavalenka was told Kavalenka wouldn't be transferred to a hospital for civilians, as all aid he needs can be rendered in the prison.
