Commanders tortured a contract soldier from Tatarstan to force him to confess to self-inflicted injury.
37-year-old Rishat Shakurov from the village of Shemordan signed a contract last summer. On May 20, he was injured in a drone attack and suffered a leg injury, according to his sister. She says that after this, the contract soldier did not receive any medical treatment.
Instead of being taken to a hospital, Shakurov was taken to the headquarters of the 37th regiment, where he was tortured: tied to a tree, starved, and beaten, in an attempt to make him confess to self-inflicting his wound. His sister managed to save him by filing a complaint with the prosecutor’s office, after which he was released. However, this was short-lived as Shakurov was soon sent back to the front despite his injury.
Shakurov’s relative confirmed his story, sending ASTRA screenshots of chats with fellow soldiers, photos of medical certificates, and an audio recording of a call with the soldier himself, in which he describes the torture.
According to Shakurov’s comrades, after being tortured and returned to the front line, he tried to escape from the unit but was caught. As a result, he was held in a pit for at least 13 days [a photo of Shakurov in the pit is attached to the news], where he was deprived of food, water, and the ability to use the toilet. On July 9, Shakurov was taken to a notorious torture basement for dissenters in Zaitsevo, “LNR”. Since then, his condition and whereabouts have been unknown.
