Trevor was moved to a prison hospital
Trevor has been coughing blood for weeks, he has fever off and on, and pain in his lungs. We were notified early this week that there was an accident and Trevor thinks he might have a broken rib. He is not sure why he is being sent to the hospital prison or if he will receive any testing or treatment while there. His past experience with prison hospitals was to have very little treatment. We hope they will test and treat him, but we will be unsure of the results they give him.

Trevor's appeal to the 2nd Court of Cassation in Moscow. This is an appeal against the Golovinsky Court verdict and sentence. An appeal to the Moscow City Court was already denied.

Information
Since Trevor Reed's transfer to Labor Camp IK-12 if the Republic of Mordovia, he has refused to work. He states that he will not work for the people that have taken him hostage. According to Russian rules and the European Court of Human Rights, prisoners who refuse to work are not to be punished. And yet Prison IK-12 doesn't operate the SUON barracks for non-working prisoners, so false charges are placed on prisoners that don't work so that they may be placed in SHIZO. For most of the time between mid July 2021 and early March 2022, Trevor Reed was placed in a small solitary confinement cell alone or with one other prisoner. The rooms have a hole in the floor for toilet, a fold down metal frame bed on chains, untreated water faucet, and no real heating. Often he had to lay on the floor near a hot water pipe to stay warm during the daytime.
