The person involved in the Tyumen case, anti-fascist Kirill Brik, said that he was tortured in the police department. Under duress, he confessed to making the bomb. About this, with reference to the lawyer Yevgeny Girva, the support group of the defendants in the case writes in Telegram.
Girv managed to visit Brik on October 31, the day before he, along with two other defendants in the case, was transferred from Tyumen to the Zavodoukovsk pre-trial detention center. The anti-fascist told the lawyer that the security forces put a sheet of paper on his face and wrapped his head with tape. He was dropped several times from a chair to the floor, his knuckles were twisted and he was beaten on the head with the back of his hand.
“At some time, from this kind of impact on me by law enforcement officers, I stopped understanding what else I was hit with,” Brik said.
In addition, the police threatened to rape the anti-fascist by inserting a handle or a mop handle into the anus. It was as a result of these threats that he signed a confession. Brik was forced to “confess” that, together with Denis Aidyn, another person involved in the case, he had made a bomb to blow up the railway in Tyumen and intended to transfer another one to Yekaterinburg.
Brik claims that he was tortured in the operational-search unit on 30 Let Oktyabrya Street. According to the support group of the defendants in the "Tyumen case", it is probably about the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Tyumen region, which the locals call the "Tyumen Gestapo".
Earlier, the other five defendants in the Tyumen case also spoke about torture, including Aidyn, who, along with Brik, was accused of making a bomb. According to him, everything happened on August 30, the day of his arrest. The anti-fascist said that during the detention he was forced to undress and squatted down. They put a boot on his head and threatened to rape him if he fell.
