Good to see the same two eye doctors still showing up years later — Anastasia since 2018 and Dr. Messini who joined in 2025. Sounds like a solid follow-up to that 2025 agreement. Hope the guys inside got some real help with their vision.

It’s good that the same doctors continue to come - Anastasia since 2018 and Elena Messini since 2025. This means this is not a one-time thing. I wonder how many people were examined in Korydallos this time.

It is good that Anastasia Serepa continues from 2018 and Dr. Messini joined from 2025. It seems that the collaboration with K.S.O. it didn't just stay on the papers of the 2025 memorandum. Really, how many prisoners did they have time to examine that morning of July 7th?

It’s good that Anastasia Serepa has been traveling since 2018, and Elena Messini joined in 2025 - this means that this is already a proven team, and not a one-time event. I wonder how many people were able to watch that Tuesday in Korydallos. Thank you for such work, especially in such a place.

It's good that the two doctors are moving on - Anastasia from 2018 and Mrs. Messini from 2025. You can see that the memorandum from last July was not just on paper. How many prisoners did they have time to examine in Korydall that day?

It’s good that Anastasia has been traveling for eight years now, this really shows that this is not a one-time event. This time, I think, about forty people were examined, including those in serious condition. Have you been to such places yourself or are you just reading?

It’s good that Anastasia has been holding on for eight years now, this is really important. Forty people at a time is solid, especially when some of them are heavy. I haven’t been to prisons myself, but I once transported food to a colony near Moscow and saw how everything was organized there. And you, Ekaterina, how do you know such details?
