It has long been known that Russian security forces use torture. It’s just that the security apparatus tried to cover up the abuse – until the terrorist attack in Moscow.
Dhe presentation of four Tajiks in Moscow’s Basmannyi Court on Sunday evening will go down in Russia’s legal history. The men are said to have carried out the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall west of the capital two days earlier, which, according to official figures, killed 137 people and injured 182 others. Now she was seen with signs of severe abuse. The recordings from the court and images published on Telegram document how President Vladimir Putin’s security apparatus now openly practices torture.
32-year-old Dalerdzhon Mirsoyev had bruises around his eyes and the right one was almost completely swollen shut. He was wearing remnants of a plastic bag around his neck, the kind that can be pulled over the head to cause shortness of breath. There were also bruises around the eyes of 30-year-old Saidakrami Murodali Ratschabalisoda, and his right eye was almost completely swollen shut. He also wore a large bandage on his right ear, or what was left of it: a large piece had been cut off when he was arrested in a forest.
