Defenders have secured the consideration of claims in other regions in the interests of a tortured prisoner from Ingushetia

The Supreme Court of Ingushetia sided with lawyer Irina Biryukova, who appealed the illegal placement of a native of Ingushetia, Abdul-Malik Albagachiev, in a punishment cell and a single cell-type room in the Astrakhan colony. The claim will be considered at his place of residence, the Public Verdict Foundation reported.

In addition, the Moscow Regional Court confirmed the right of courts in other regions to consider the claim of lawyer Dmitry Yegoshin for denial of access to his client Albagachiev to the colony.

Let us recall that in 2018, Abdul-Malik Albagachiev was tortured in the Ingush “Center E”. He was charged with participating in an illegal armed group in Syria. Confessions of guilt were extracted by torture. He did not admit guilt.

The man's jaw and nose were broken, he suffered from headaches, his legs went numb and his hair began to fall out. Albagachiev constantly lost consciousness and suffered from appendicitis. Then he started having epileptic seizures. Despite epilepsy, the prisoner serving his sentence in the Astrakhan colony was sent to a punishment cell for maximum terms.
