Olysia Kat was detained the day before in the Mozaika shopping center in Moscow. She herself called the police after mall security guards tried to escort her out of the building. The security forces came and took her to the department. According to Novaya Gazeta Europe, the police kept the girl in the department for more than a day and told her that she was a man. The security forces did not give her food and demanded that she drink “from the tap or from the toilet,” and also said that her passport was “just a piece of paper.” A lawyer was not allowed to see the detainee, and her pets were left unattended at home.
