In a courtroom statement on Friday, Ruslan Kostylenkov accused five police officers of tying him to a chair, beating him in the kidneys, and then sodomising him with the handle of a kitchen mallet so that he would confess on camera to belonging to an anarchist organisation. After the incident, a police officer “sat with me during my interrogation and virtually dictated my testimony to the investigator”, Kostylenkov said in the statement, which was provided to the Guardian before Friday’s hearing. The alleged torture left him defecating and urinating blood for days, he said/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/24/russian-facing-extremism-charges-alleges-police-torture-ruslan-kostylenkov (same cases follows next:) ……........................................................................ 8-6-20 The group's supporters say the case was fabricated by the FSB security service and that agents infiltrated the group, financed operations and coerced its members into renting office space and creating a charter. … In 2018, authorities detained 10 people accusing them of belonging to an anarchist cell called the "New Greatness" that was plotting an uprising against the government. The group's supporters say the case was fabricated by the FSB security service and that agents infiltrated the group, financed operations and coerced its members into renting office space and creating a charter.  https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2020/08/06/court-jails-young-russians-for-plotting-to-overthrow-putin-a71071 …………………......................................................................... 9-4-2017 Petrozavodsk, capital of Russia’s Republic of Karelia, is the stage for the trial of Yury Dmitriyev, a local history specialist and human rights campaigner. Dmitriyev has devoted most of his life to restoring Russia’s historical memory. He is now being tried on trumped-up charges of child pornography and firearm possession. I spoke to Dmitriyev’s friends and family, as well as forensic experts, to try and find out the truth…. Anufriyev sees nothing suspicious in Dmitriyev’s photos — they seem to him to be very ordinary images — and believes the arrest is connected to his professional life. “By looking for execution sites, he was discrediting the previous regime, and he is, moreover, a rigid and uncompromising person.” According to one version of events that emerged after Dmitriyev’s arrest, one reason for the historian’s arrest could be his work on drawing up lists of NKVD executioners. “I don’t exclude the possibility that lists of executioners, which Dmitryev apparently wanted to publish, could have played a role,” says Anatoly Razumov, the director of the Returned Names Centre at the Russian National Library (and a friend of Dmitriyev for many years). “But Dmitriyev was involved in searching for burial sites of repression victims, and he published the lists of executioners 20 years ago!” https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/odr/yuri-dmitriev-sandarmoh/ …….................................................................................. 9-29-20 Gulag historian’s sentence increased suddenly to 13 yrs in max security When police searched his flat, they found images on his computer of his daughter, some of them naked. A charge of non-violent sexual abuse of a minor was added the following year, as well as illegal possession of firearm parts….

Dmitriyev said the photos were taken to document the child's growth in case of problems with social services as she had been emaciated when the couple fostered her. In 2018, he was cleared of all but the firearms charge, but the regional Supreme Court overturned the verdict two months later based on an investigator's interview with his daughter, then 12 years old, shortly after he was acquitted. The case was returned to court with an additional sexual abuse charge, relating to inappropriate touching. However, linguistic experts cited in court have suggested that investigators pressured the girl during questioning over an incident some years before. The allegation is believed to relate to a documented medical condition. In May more than 150 Russians, including artists, actors and writers wrote an open letter to the court in support of the historian, saying they were "sure the accusations are unfair and should be dismissed by the court". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54334555 ………......................................................................................
