Roman says he has no clue. The Prison Service forwarded a letter to our attorney, which speaks of "Negative IA", with no details at all.
It turns out that the term ["Negative Intelligence Assessment" - jz] is used to describe negative conduct in prison. But why the secrecy? And why did they fail to detail, even to Roman's attorney, what was the negative conduct, for which they decided to punish not only Roman, but also me?
Perhaps they used such code term, because there was nothing to detail? Is it justified to deny a right, which is not only Roman's but also mine, for reasons that we do not know? Is the Prison Service permitted to trample on my husband's rights like that? Under the pretext of a code name "Negative IA"?
My feeling is that they are looking to frame him in prison, waiting for him to make some mistake"
And why is it so urgent for them to make such false claims now?
Roman cares about prisoners' rights, not only his. And he tries to work for such rights even from inside the prison. He appealed to the courts for various rights. Roman suspects that it may be one of the reasons for the denial of our right to meet in private -- to signal to him to stop filing such petitions.
Perhaps someone is also bothered by the fact that Roman managed to keep a clean disciplinary record with no violations at all for over ten years.
I truly hope that no judge would accept such pretext of "Negative IA", because you cannot keep silent, when the system abuses you without even telling you why.
I was conflicted on whether to publish this matter, since I am afraid that he would suffer further retribution. However, I hope that being open about it is the right way to go, and that the exposure would protect us better than keeping silent.
I feel that they are trying to attack Roman's weak point -- me and our relationship.
That is what they did from the start, and that is what they go on doing; they are trying to break his spirit.
Two girls [art students - jz] have recently created a large painting named "Martyr Roman Zadorov". The work is stunning, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lior Yefremov and Yuval Reshef for the painting. I attach my image from that painting.
Roman was depicted in the painting as a martyr, but he is no martyr, he is a human being. And as a human being, there is a limit to the afflictions he can bear, before he breaks down. He is tortured, perhaps not violently and physically, but such torture as the denial of rights can sometimes be as painful -- mental torture and the breaking of his spirit.
I was depicted in the painting as a nun. I am no nun, even if they impose on me celibacy.
I do pray that they give us back those few minutes a month, which are so important for us, and which give us the strength to survive under the harsh circumstances, which were imposed on us.
I do ask anybody who cares to share this message, so that people know that even prisoners have rights, and I too have rights. Even a prisoner who has perpetrated crimes has rights, nevertheless one who did nothing that justifies all of this.
