“I thank the people who, on March 1, 2015, joined the rally of solidarity for justice and against criminal death!

I stand with you!

I will not die until we, together, break the walls of this blood-stained prison of nations known as the Kremlin!

With gratitude and respect,
Nadiya Savchenko

Tens of thousands of people took part in a rally in Moscow on 03.01.2015, to express outrage at the assassination of Boris Nemtsov and demand freedom for Nadiya Savchenko

Mark Feygin also tweeted that when asked about the state of her health, and the possibility of ending the hunger strike, Nadiya said she is holding on, and promised to remember that Ukrainians and Russians alike are imploring her not to die.

“One way or another, I got her to promise that should things become too horrible [with her health], she will stop. Those were her words…” – Feygin wrote in his twitter on Tuesday, 03.03.

Насчёт голодовки и здоровья Нади, она сказала продержится и обещает помнить, что украинцы и россияне её призывают не умирать #FreeSavchenko

Так или иначе, я добился от неё слова, что когда станет совсем ужасно, она послушается и остановится. Так она сказала… — Mark Feygin (@mark_feygin) March 3, 2015

Mark Feygin also mentioned that tomorrow, 03.04.2015, Nadiya will be taken to another court date, for a hearing of the appeal filed by Feygin concerning Nadiya Savchenko’s immunity as a PACE delegate. “She will be able to give some explanations herself,” he tweeted. The hearing will take place in the Moscow Basmanny District court, at 12:30.

At the last hearing, which took place on February 10, the same court ruled to extend Nadiya Savchenko’s detention until May 13, in spite of her continuation of the hunger strike protesting against her unlawful detention. Nadiya made a speech in court at that time, addressing the Russian people.
