Yevgeny Makarov, who was tortured in a Yaroslavl colony, was released

Yevgeny Makarov, who spoke about torture in IK-1 Yaroslavl and was recognized as a victim in this case, was released. This is reported by the TV channel "Rain" .

Makarov was released after a court decision to recalculate the reduction of the term. The judge of the Zavolzhsky District Court of Yaroslavl reduced the term for Makarov, sentenced to six years and ten months in a colony, by two months, and also counted each day spent in a pre-trial detention center for a day and a half in a colony, Mediazona notes . Makarov was convicted of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm and extortion.

In April 2017, he, along with other prisoners of the Yaroslavl IK-1 Ivan Nepomnyashchikh and Ruslan Vakhapov, told that they were beaten by the Federal Penitentiary Service during a mass search. After that, Makarov was constantly placed in a ShIZO, and after that he was transferred to IK-8, where he was threatened with rape.

In July, Novaya Gazeta published a video showing IK-1 officers torturing Makarov. After the publication, the Investigative Committee opened several criminal cases on abuse of power. 14 employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service pass through them.
