Police officers who beat a native of North Ossetia are being checked in Moscow
The Investigative Committee and the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow began an investigation into the statement of police beating of a native of North Ossetia, Tamerlan Marzoev. He was diagnosed with a bilateral jaw fracture and numerous bruises on his head, the “Team Against Torture” noted.
On October 14, in Moscow, police beat a native of North Ossetia because of his nationality in front of his pregnant wife.
He and his wife were stopped on the street and demanded to show their documents. One of the security officials asked where Marzoev was from. He answered and heard the phrase: “Why did you come here in large numbers?”
After the question about nationality, Tamerlan’s wife began to argue with the police and promised to complain about them. In response, they began to insult her and shout. Tamerlane told them that his wife was pregnant and stood between them. Then one of the security forces hit him in the jaw several times: the man fell on the asphalt and hit his head. After this, the spouses were taken to the police department, where Marzoev continued to be insulted on ethnic grounds. He was also forced to strip naked and sit down three times.
As of today, Tamerlan Marzoev has been discharged from the hospital, but is still unable to go to work.
