In Novosibirsk, 23-year-old Inna Panfilova lost her baby after she was sent to a pre-trial detention center from a hospital.
This story is told by KP.
Panfilova was released on parole in November 2020. She was serving time on drug charges. As a punishment, she was left to do corrective work.
According to the girl’s mother, Inna tried to find a place to work out the prescribed punishment. But she was not taken anywhere, because after her release she managed to get pregnant.
“The daughter was given referrals to institutions where she could undergo these correctional works. But this does not mean that she should have been hired there immediately: she would have been accepted only if there was a place and she was suitable for the vacant position. Inna was ready to even wash the floor in the entrances, even work as a janitor – if only she would be credited for everything, – assures Svetlana, the girl’s mother. – I even went to Krasnoobsk to the housing department, and to the village of Leninsky – I traveled the whole city and its environs while I was pregnant. The last such interview took place when my daughter was in her seventh month. But she was constantly refused: no one needed such a burden.
In December 2021, another ultrasound revealed a pathology – fetal growth retardation. And two days after that, the girl was again sent to a pre-trial detention center due to non-compliance with the conditions of parole. By this time she was eight months pregnant.
“Couldn’t they at least wait a little until the birth? I asked about this in court, they told me that she had no reason not to serve time, they say, there were no serious violations, ”says Svetlana.
On January 19, Inna’s blood pressure rose, she was taken to the hospital, but was soon returned to her cell. “I contacted the pre-trial detention center, talked about a bad ultrasound, that my daughter needed to be in the hospital. But they didn’t listen to me, they said that they would wait for contractions, and then they would take me to the doctors again, ”says Svetlana.
On January 28, the woman was hospitalized, on the 31st, the family was informed that the child was born dead. “I’m sure that if Inna had been on conservation, then the baby would have been saved. The doctors said that the grandson died in the womb on January 25, three days before the birth … If she had been under observation, she would have been examined in time and saved the baby, ”says Inna’s mother.
She filed a complaint with the prosecutor’s office and demands that the perpetrators be brought to justice.
