"Since Friday, after the visit of [her lawyer] Mark Feygin, her condition has worsened," Novikov said.

"She told me about this in video conference during the meeting in the Moscow City Court about our complaint. Now I'm going to her in the remand center, but probably I will have no time to go inside until the end of the day. In this case, we'll meet only in the morning. My colleagues in the meantime will communicate with the Public Oversight Commission," Novikov said.
