A participant in the "SVO" from North Ossetia complained about insults and beatings by the military police

A participant in the "special military operation" from North Ossetia, Arsen Temiraev, told how in 2023 he was attacked by military police in Tokmak, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine. The security forces broke into the courtyard of the house occupied by their platoon and opened indiscriminate shooting, accompanied by curses. A video recording of the victim's story was published on the ASTRA Telegram channel.

Temiraev received several blows to the head with a rifle butt. According to him, one of the attackers shouted "You fucking chinks, Russia is for Russians." Then the security officer began to burn Temiraev's back with a red-hot barrel. As a result, the soldier was diagnosed with a concussion, multiple wounds to the head, torso and limbs, as well as thermal burns.

When Temiraev recorded a video message about what happened, his command said that he was doomed to die and that his service record would be reset after he left the hospital. The man returned to North Ossetia and was treated for more than a month in a psychiatric clinic, and then arrived at a military unit in Chechnya to undergo a medical examination. There he was added to the list to be sent to the "SVO". According to him, he is now on the federal wanted list for abandoning his unit.
