"They choked with a package, demanded that I wanted to join the international legion of Ukraine." Activist talked about torture in a pre -trial detention center Voronezh

The activist from Voronezh Anton Osipenko has been holding for six months in a local pre -trial detention center, accusing him of Gosizmen. He wrote a letter in which he said that with the help of torture he was forced to give conference. The security forces force Osipenko to stipulate himself and say that he wanted to join the “International Legion of Ukraine”.

The letter was published by the Channel "Free People of Voronezh." Osipenko attracted the attention of the security forces in January 2021, when he went to the rally in support of Alexei Navalny. He was fined twice for 10 thousand rubles in two different ships - for one speech in a megaphone. After the start of the war in Ukraine on March 9, 2022, Osipenko tried to fly away from Russia, but he was detained.

“They began to torture me with the help of strangling with a bag, beaten hands, legs, and kidneys in order to give false testimony. Allegedly, the purpose of my trip was to enter the unit of the “International Legion of Ukraine”. The fact that citizens of the Russian Federation are not taken there did not stop the execution, ”Osipenko writes.

After the torture of the activist, they released. He spent 11 months at large. With a search, they came to him on February 22, 2023 and sent to a pre -trial detention center. He does not have a lawyer by agreement. According to him, in the case "data from IS SORM on telephone traffic appear."
