Consensus

Eugenia Guțul was transferred to a women's prison in the Hîncești district of Moldova.
The prison conditions are described as degrading and violate human dignity.
The prison is the only women's prison in Moldova, known as Prison No. 7.
Guțul is held in solitary confinement.
Her lawyer, Sergey Moraru, reported that water quality is poor and water supply is frequently interrupted for two to three days.
Guțul was sentenced to seven years in prison in August 1025 for allegedly financing the banned Shor party.
The prosecution alleges that Guțul facilitated the illegal transfer of 42.4 million lei (about $2.5 million) from Russia to the Shor party between 2019 and 2022.
Guțul and co-defendant Svetlana Popan deny guilt.
The Kremlin labeled the verdict as politically motivated.
The United Nations is monitoring the situation and urged all parties to avoid actions that could escalate tensions.
