The ECHR awarded compensation to the relatives of the ex-guard of the head of Chechnya who died from torture in a colony

The Russian authorities are required to pay 12.5 thousand euros to the relatives of Ayub Tuntuev. In 2019, he died in IK-6 in the Vladimir region after torture.

Ayub Tuntuev, a former guard of Chechen President Akhmat Kadyrov, was subjected to regular torture by prison officers. He was forced to confess to an attack on Pskov paratroopers in 2000 in Chechnya. In 2019, a man died after another beating. Two years later, the ECHR awarded him the first compensation in the amount of 100 thousand euros.

In 2008, Ayub Tuntuev was sentenced to 24 years on charges of involvement in a terrorist attack in the Chechen village of Znamenskoye. In 2017, he was sentenced to another 11 months in the case of an attack on the military of the 76th Pskov Airborne Division. The prisoner did not admit guilt.
