Footage of Russian forces torturing the men they arrested over the Moscow terror attack emerged tonight, with one man given electric shocks to his genitals and a second forced to eat his own ear.
One image shows a suspect named as Shamsuddin Fariddun foaming at the mouth as he lies on a gym floor with his trousers pulled down and wires attached to his groin area. At the other end they are attached to a military radio powered by an 80-volt battery.
Separate video sees another man, Saidakrami Murodali Rachabalizoda, having his ear severed and then spitting it out as he is forced to eat it.
The two suspects are among four men detained in western Russia after Friday’s terror attack on a packed Moscow concert hall that left at least 140 people dead.
All four appeared in court in the Russian capital tonight and were paraded showing cuts and bruises as the authorities attempt to deliver a message to the shocked nation.
New footage filed inside the Crocus City Hall venue in Krasnogorsk also emerged tonight, showing people running and cowering behind tables as the gunmen open fire in the main lobby of the building. People can be heard screaming as continuous bullets break through glass doors and mow down victims in what was the deadliest attack on Russia in years.
The four suspected terrorists, who have been photographed and named in the Russian media, were seen arriving in an unmarked white van before they entered the concert hall at around 8pm.
Photographs show suspect Saidakrami Murodali Rachabalizod with a bandage strapped to his severed ear as he sits behind a glass wall at the Basmanny district court in Moscow. Any confessions made after such forms of torture cannot be treated as reliable.
Videos previously emerged on social media of the suspects being arrested – with one shaking on his knees and apparently confessing to carrying out the attack.
It appears that the barbaric treatment of these suspects is being deliberately leaked to the media, as today’s pictures were released to Telegram channels sympathetic to the security services.
