Russian programmer Pyotr Levashov, accused in the US of cybercrimes, is subjected to pressure in prison. The newspaper Izvestia was told about this by his lawyer, Igor Litvak. According to him, Levashov is in the US prison since Friday evening, February 2. The lawyer noted that in the cell of a Russian there is only a bed and a mattress, and there is no pillow and a towel. The detainee, Litvak noted, was not allowed to go to the store, he was not allowed to go on walks, forbidden to read newspapers and communicate with other prisoners. "He has not even been allowed to take a shower. He could hardly get out toothpaste and brush. Peter is forced to sit 24 hours a day in the cell without explaining any reasons. This is illegal, and I would call it torture, "said the lawyer. Maria Levashova's wife confirmed that she can not contact her husband from last week. The programmer is now in the prison of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Spain issued it to the United States on February 2. He was detained in April 2017 on holiday in Barcelona.
