❗️The cellmate found traces of torture on the Muscovite Anatoly Poplavsky, who wanted to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The interlocutor of “Sota” noticed a trace of a stun gun on Anatoly’s hand in the first half of October, when they were serving an administrative arrest together. The ambulance doctors, who came to fix the beatings, found a bruise on the detainee, but did not find a trace from the stun gun.
Shortly before the end of the administrative term, Poplavsky was taken directly from the detention center for investigative actions and charged under Part 1 of Art. 208 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (creation of an illegal armed group). Since October 21, the detainee has been in a pre-trial detention center, he faces up to 20 years in prison.
Poplavsky told his cellmate that, being in a state of intoxication, he sent an application to join the Ukrainian legion “Freedom of Russia”. A scanned copy of my passport was attached to the email. How exactly this data fell into the hands of the Russian security forces is unknown.
On October 6, Poplavsky was detained, “they put a bag over his head and took him to the forest.” The detainee told his cellmates that interrogations and torture were carried out by FSB officers. They forced him to unlock the phone and show the correspondence. There, among other things, there were critical statements about the Russian army.
Before his arrest, Anatoly Poplavsky worked for an oil and gas company. He told other detainees that he wrote to the Freedom of Russia legion out of emotion, but in fact he was not going to join it.
