A claim was filed against the Ministry of Internal Affairs for 1.8 million rubles due torturing conditions in a special detention center in Sakharovo

According to Kommersant, the lawsuit lists over a dozen violations of the rights of detainees, including humiliation of human dignity, lack of medical assistance, hygiene products and sleeping places in the special detention center in Sakharovo.

According to the lawyer Dmitry Piskunov, representing the plaintiffs, 213 people who were arrested under the "rally" articles reported about the torture conditions of the detention center.

The amount of the claim is RUB 1.8 million. - 90.4 thousand rubles for each of the applicants.

It's worth reminding that the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Chelyabinsk region filed a claim for damages in the amount of 2.1 million rubles, allegedly inflicted on the police during protests in support of opposition leader Alexey Navalny on January 23 and 31.

These days, as well as on February 2 and April 21, mass protests took place in Russia related to the arrest and placement of other political prisoners in the colony of Navalny. Hundreds of thousands of Russians took part in the actions. Over 11 thousand people were detained, subjected to fines and administrative arrests. Criminal cases were initiated against some of the participants. In a number of cities, detentions were accompanied by unjustified brutality by security officials and brutal beatings of protesters. This caused outrage on the part of human rights defenders.
