They beat me too

Bakhrom Khamroev, an employee of the Memorial Human Rights Center, was beaten in Moscow. As the head of the center, Oleg Orlov, told Interfax, on December 7, Khamroev went to see an acquaintance, a native of Kyrgyzstan, who reported by phone that armed people had broken into his apartment. According to Orlov, Khamroev was not allowed into the apartment and was forced to leave the entrance. Then a man got out of a minibus standing nearby, asked the human rights activist several questions and suddenly hit him on the head several times. Khamroev fell unconscious and was taken to the hospital. Memorial demands an investigation into the attack. Human rights activists believe that Khamroev was beaten by a law enforcement officer. Memorial knows that on Profsoyuznaya Street, where the house of a native of Kyrgyzstan is located, the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs carried out an operation to search for Islamic extremists. They know the address and license plate number of the car the attacker got out of. Law enforcement agencies have not yet commented on this incident.
