Members of the POC called LIU-51 the “Sverdlovsk Auschwitz,” where prisoners suffer from exhaustion, they are not provided with proper medical care, and the bodies of the dead are piled in rows right in the corridors of the detachments. “He was in terrible condition. Simply put, it was a body covered in leather. Nowadays, the sight of such a person is simply terrifying,” members of the PMC say about the deceased prisoner, specifying that he had previously complained to them about poor nutrition and lack of assistance. The deceased was convicted of murder, and in 2009 he was sentenced to 13 years. The press service of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Sverdlovsk Region confirmed the death of the prisoner, but clarified that it was non-violent: the man suffered from two serious diseases in the last stage.
