Between February and April 1982, Oles Shevchenko (for celebrating Easter among other reasons), Viktor Niytsoo and others had their visits from relatives cancelled under various ridiculous "pretexts." After traveling thousands of kilometers to the camp, the relatives of Henrich Altunian, Norair Grygorian and Ogorodnikov were turned back and not permitted to meet with the prisoners.
