Yuli Boyarshinov, a defendant in the “Network” case, was planned to be escorted to pre-trial detention center No. 3 in St. Petersburg

The defendant in the case of the terrorist community “Network,” Yuli Boyarshinov, was planned to be escorted to pre-trial detention center No. 3 in St. Petersburg. This became known from a letter from the FSB Directorate for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region to lawyer Olga Krivonos. The document was published in the RUPRESSION telegram channel.

Based on the letter, on September 17 it was planned that the end point for Boyarshinov’s transfer from SIZO-1 of Penza would be SIZO-3 of St. Petersburg.

On September 27, it became known that Yuli Boyarshinov and another defendant in the case, Igor Shishkin, were taken to pre-trial detention center No. 1 in Nizhny Novgorod. It is unknown whether they are still there. Member of the Public Monitoring Commission Yana Teplitskaya wrote on Facebook that the third accused from St. Petersburg, Viktor Filiknov, either has not yet arrived in Nizhny Novgorod, or has already left there.

Yuli Boyarshinov, Igor Shishkin and Viktor Filinkov were taken from pre-trial detention centers in the Leningrad region and St. Petersburg at the end of July to carry out investigative actions in Penza, where the accused ended up only at the end of August.

• 11 young people in St. Petersburg and Penza are accused in the Network case . According to the FSB, they participated in a terrorist organization and were allegedly preparing for the outbreak of unrest in the country. The defendants in the case spoke about psychological pressure, electric shock torture, hanging upside down and weapons that FSB officers planted on them.
• Yulia Boyarshinov in the Gorelovo pre-trial detention center in the Leningrad region was placed in a cell with 115 places, where there were 150 people. This happened after another visit by FSB officers, who told Yuli: “We made it worse for you, let’s talk, otherwise the conditions of detention will worsen.” Boyarshinov's lawyer called the conditions in the cell torture.
• Anti-fascist Viktor Filinkov was arrested in January. He admitted guilt, but later stated that he did it under torture. Members of the Public Monitoring Commission of St. Petersburg recorded numerous traces of burns from a stun gun on the anti-fascist’s body. Victor said that one of the FSB officers who tortured him threatened that if he refused to confess, the anti-fascist would go to another region “in a car with specialists.”
• Another St. Petersburg defendant, businessman Igor Shishkin, did not report torture, but the Public Monitoring Committee also recorded injuries on his body.
