A native of Chechnya is subjected to torture and humiliation in a Vladimir colony

Said-Akhmed Visangiriyev, a native of Chechnya, held in IK-6 in the Vladimir region, is subjected to cruel treatment and torture by the colony's management. This was reported by his brother Said-Magomed Visangiriyev. According to him, methods are used against Said-Akhmed that degrade his human dignity and lead to a deterioration in his health. In particular, he was held in a solitary confinement cell for a long time.

Said-Magomed Visangiriyev expressed concern that his brother is not receiving proper medical care, despite a high temperature that has persisted for a month. He appealed to the leadership of the Russian law enforcement agencies with a request to conduct an investigation and stop the cruel treatment.

Previously, Visangiriyev served a sentence for robbery in IK-3 in the Vladimir region. There, he was subjected to violent acts in the presence of security guards. He also witnessed the rough handling of a brochure on learning namaz.

The Anna Politkovskaya Award has this year been given to 11 Russian and five Ukrainian female journalists who are imprisoned in Russia and in the occupied territories of Ukraine.

 

According to the award’s founder, the international organisation RAW in WAR (Reach All Women in WAR), the nominations committee praised the “courage and integrity” of the laureates, who “risk their freedom and even their lives to report on the war and speak out against human rights violations, war crimes and the escalating repression of journalists, human rights defenders and anti-war activists in Russia”.
