From mosque to bus

On August 15, near a small Moscow mosque on the 2nd milling street, about a hundred people were detained from Friday prayer. The detainees were disposed of at different police department. They were not charged, they simply took fingerprints, photographed and collected passport data. One of the detainees, who did not want to call himself, told the OVD-info details of the detention.

When we left the building, three with machine guns sat down on the roof, forced everyone to expose the torso, open, show. Then, when we began to go further, because of the fence, we were twisted by each and just a mowing, boorish way we knocked all. They organized three rows twenty meters from the mosque and put each on the ground. They said: "Hands behind the head, do not move!" They searched, watched pockets. They twisted us all, someone called on at the same time. After that, we, a batch of thirty people, were loaded onto the bus and taken to the department. There was one guy with us, they treated him hard. When he asked if it was possible to be quieter, more careful, he was hit on the bus. I myself did not see this, but I heard a loud sound of a blow, and then everyone talked about it. This guy was put on the bus in handcuffs, and one employee called him black twice. And then he said to him something like this: "Because of people like you, violent, you will be pressed later."

The department treated us normally. I sat there probably an hour and a half. Then they called, took fingerprints, after that I sat there for another fifteen minutes, and then we left. We were not interrogated about anything. Apparently, the goal was simply that in their base there were our fingerprints and passport data.
