Arrival at the Sovetsky district police department
They brought us to the Sovetsky district police department (RUVD). There they unloaded us, again through a "baton corridor."
They lined up 62 people along a fence: you press your head against the fence at stomach height, hands either on your head or above it with palms facing out, feet shoulder-width apart. I had only seen this in TV crime reports, when serious criminals are arrested. And between you and the fence, barbed wire is stretched along the ground. If you lose your balance…
Everything at the Sovetsky district police department was run by Colonel Sergei Leonidovich Kalinnik and Lieutenant Colonel Timur Borisovich Kessel. Both are accused of torture, abuse, beatings and threats to life.
At the Sovetsky district police department, police officers inflicted the following injuries on me:
- from a baton blow, hematomas on the right and left buttocks with soft-tissue swelling in those areas:
- right buttock: hematoma 10 × 6 cm, firm, painless, no fluctuation
- left buttock: hematoma 4 cm in diameter, not tense, blue-yellow in color
- right buttock: hematoma 10 × 6 cm, firm, painless, no fluctuation
