Anti-fascist Roman Paklin, detained in the Urals, said that the security forces used electric shocks and threats of sexual violence against him during his arrest. This was reported in the Telegram channel "Tyumen case", created in support of the defendants in the criminal case. It published a transcript of the interrogation of Paklin. To date, it is known that 5 out of 6 defendants in the case reported torture. Paklin spoke about torture and its consequences in court.
He said that during the arrest, unknown people in civilian clothes were put into a white Lada Granta without license plates. A man was driving, three more people were standing on the street, all with hoods on their heads, all in civilian clothes. Two of them, without explaining the reasons, without presenting documents, wringing their hands by force, put on handcuffs.
As Paklin told the court, on the way he was periodically beaten on the back, lower back, on the head, beaten with hands and a pistol handle. Then he was brought to some kind of hangar. Paklin did not see the route, as they immediately blindfolded him with masking tape and put something on his head.
In the hangar, he was electrocuted and threatened with sexual violence. The security forces asked him about the other defendants in the case and whether he asked them to make smoke bombs.
“I answered in the affirmative. The man said that my answer was wrong, and they increased the current to me. It was even more painful, I continued to be shocked for another 15 seconds, ”said Paklin. “At one point, when I was lying on the floor in handcuffs, the first male police officer (captain) lowered himself to me, unbuttoned my pants. I heard how he unbuttoned his pants and said that he would rape me (it was said obscenely) and that I would go to the zone "rooster".
Paklin said that he was forced to sign everything that was demanded of him, as he was afraid of reprisals.
In addition, the detainee said that before signing the ready-made forms with testimony, he told the lawyer [Senik Oksana Vyacheslavovna] that he was tortured by the police, they used physical force and demanded to sign interrogation protocols. The lawyer said that if he signed, he would "go to the pre-trial detention center and the torture would end."
