Disturbing allegations are being levied against Vladimir Putin.
A video was posted on the New York Post’s website of alleged treatment of prisoners in Russian jails.
The report claims inmates are being raped and mutilated.
Not for the Meek
The images were reportedly leaked to campaigners Gulagu.net.
The prisons have been described as “torture conveyor belt” jails.
The latest video to be released documents five prisoners being violated with blunt objects, raped, and urinated on.
Be warned, some of these images are very disturbing…
The group claims the image are from OTB-1, a prison the Saratov region, close to the border with Kazakhstan.
The group’s website stated, “We continue our independent investigation against the conveyor belt of torture in the institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service.”
Tanya Lokshina, of Human Rights Watch, stated, “The problem of torture in Russian penitentiaries is very acute and the government is not doing enough to ensure effective investigation, security of victims and whistleblowers and accountability for perpetrators.”
Russian prisons have long had a reputation of being brutal, but this is well beyond the pale.
