A prisoner from Ingushetia's health deteriorated after being tortured

A native of Ingushetia, Abdul-Malik Albagachiev, who is being held in colony No. 10 of Astrakhan, suffers from epilepsy and headaches. Before his arrest, he was an absolutely healthy person, according to his mother. The woman last saw her son in the fall of 2022. She is not allowed on dates, since Albagachiev is regularly transferred without justification to a punishment cell and a cell-type room - to more stringent conditions of detention.

Abdul-Malik Albagachiev was convicted in 2018. He was charged with participation in an illegal armed group in Syria. A confession of guilt was beaten out by torture, as the Public Verdict notes. The man pleaded not guilty. Lawyers dispute the placement of a prisoner in a cell-type room and a punishment cell for maximum periods and, together with human rights activists, seek medical assistance.
