Ex-US Marine Trevor Reed has gone on hunger strike in Russian prison after his jailors locked him away in solitary confinement, refusing him medical treatment while it is feared that he has tuberculosis, his parents have said.
Reed, 30, from , is serving a nine year jail sentence in a penal colony 217 miles east in Mordovia after being convicted in a Russian court of endangering the lives of two policemen while drunk on a visit to Moscow in 2019, in a trial the US called a 'theatre of the absurd'.
The hunger strike comes at a time when Reed's health is believed to be in peril due to being placed in a cell with a prisoner carrying tuberculosis. Despite deteriorating health, the prison authorities have refused to test him for the disease.
