Russia: Violence against civilians in Moscow
Student of RGGU was given 19 years in prison on the case of preparing a terrorist attack in a mosque. Relatives said that he was tortured after detention. The Second Western District Military Court sentenced 19-year-old RGGU student Dmitry Bokov to 19 years of imprisonment on the case of preparing a terrorist attack in a mosque. This was reported by "Ostrozhno, Novosti" and Msk1 with reference to the relatives of the accused. He was found guilty of undergoing training for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activities (Article 205.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), preparing to join a terrorist organization (Article 205.5), illegal arms trafficking (Article 222), and preparing a terrorist attack (Article 205). Bokov's relatives claimed that the accusation was based on a smartphone seized during a search, which did not belong to the student. The student's father told Msk1 that his son refused to tell the security forces the password to his phone. "He did not want to give [the iPhone password], and they hit him several times with a stun gun in the leg. He still did not say it. Then they put the handcuffs behind his back, took out a cable from a field telephone, and wrapped wires around his hands, his fingers," he recounted. @meduzalive
