After his first sentence in the case of the broken window of United Russia, he was detained again right at the exit from the colony and sentenced to another 4 years. Miftakhov is now in the Polar Owl colony in Kharp. Recently news of torture came to light. Azat named the names of employees and prisoners who, according to him, participated in the abuse.
