The 68-year-old Ukrainian political prisoner Halyna Bekhter has been transferred in critical condition to a prison hospital in the city of Vologda. The woman, detained by Russian occupiers in the temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia region, is in an extremely weakened state: she is almost refusing food, severely exhausted, and barely reacting to her surroundings.
The Russian publication ASTRA reported on the hospitalisation. According to lawyer Iryna Biryukova, who visited her client at Colony No. 1, Halyna Bekhter's condition is cause for serious concern. The defence described the prisoner as a disoriented person who can barely move.
«Страшне видовище: скелет, обтягнутий шкірою, ледве тримається на ногах. Сама пересувається, але дуже повільно, і їй потрібно за щось триматися» ("A terrible sight: a skeleton wrapped in skin, barely standing on her feet. She moves on her own, but very slowly, and she needs to hold on to something"), said Iryna Biryukova.
According to information from the defence, signs of deteriorating health and symptoms of dementia were observed in Halyna Bekhter while she was held in the pre-trial detention centre in Simferopol. At that time, other prisoners helped her with hygiene procedures and fed her with a spoon.
Currently, medical staff have not determined the cause of the patient's sudden deterioration. Doctors plan to prescribe additional examinations. Lawyers are preparing an appeal regarding the need to provide the woman with adequate medical care.
Occupation forces detained Halyna Bekhter in the summer of 2025. Russian investigators charged her with "treason". According to the occupiers' version, the woman transferred 1,240 rubles to an account designated for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Subsequently, the appellate court increased her sentence to 12.5 years in prison.
