metadata.value: A common form of prison protests is the hunger strike. There is often a conflict between the
  rights of the person who refuses to eat and the obligation of the penal system to ensure the
  health and life of the convicted person by artificial feeding in such situations. International
  legal standards require medical professionals to respect the patient’s autonomy. Informed consent
  to medical care must be obtained prior to medical intervention. In emergency circumstances,
  when a person’s life or health is threatened, the doctor must act in accordance with his
  understanding of the patient’s interests. Artificial feeding should be carried out by appropriate
  means, as provided for in the General rules on medical care, and should never cause harm or
  humiliation. There are no detailed rules on artificial feeding in Russian legislation. In order
  to improve the procedure for applying forced nutrition to convicts, it is advisable to divide it
  into four stages, each of which has its own borders and a certain area of legal relations: making
  a decision to transfer the convict to a separate room; conducting basic verification actions; force-feeding the convict; taking measures for refusing to eat and committing other violations.
  The example of Spain clearly demonstrates how the lack of clear legal regulations led to the
  resolution of the issue of artificial feeding at the level of the constitutional court. The court
  noted that convicts who refuse to eat do not have the right to die, and not the prison administration
  imposed a duty to preserve health and life. At the same time, artificial feeding cannot
  be considered as a violation of physical and moral integrity, much less as torture, inhuman or
  degrading treatment.
