Lawyer representing man tortured in prison has to flee Russia

The 10-minute video found and shared with media by his defenders at Public Verdict show repeated beating of Makarov on his head, behind and feet, with one guard asking why he had insulted him.



Prosecutors had previously said that there was no reason to open a case because Makarov had refused instructions from prison guards, with an investigator writing that review of video had no provided any evidence of beating.

The lawyer Biryukova, however, has fled Russia in the aftermath of the video because of potential threats to her life

Some translations of comments:

Fucking such a scum on the ninth minute, I do not know how much the person is being bullied, but this Chmoe hitting his cheek with his fist on the heels, no sense, more ponutsya in front of each other, in the wake of juvenile frostbites such as Psebay dismemberers (Psebay, Krasnodar Territory in May 2018). But if he then meets him in the gateway or someone from his family, then not so it will be fun ... in general, maniacs in uniform, potential rapists and pedophiles, etc. etc. .



All the horror of the situation know what? ... I understand there if they could not stand the nerves and the labor officer fsin switched to assault ... broke and so on ... Here I see another 15 maniacs with sadistic inclinations, they do not punish the convict, they get pleasure, from removing his pants ... look at their smiles ... when they pour water on him, how they posing simulating boxing work on the heels of his fists. 8 hours ago


All those who go to "work" as a punisher are usually bastards and sadists. Being garbage means being a scumbag. And then these scum come home, they hug their wives and kiss their baby scuffles ... At home they are courteous and accommodating henpecked.
