This is the distressing moment one of the suspects behind the terrorist attack in Russia was ‘electrocuted by his genitals’ during interrogation.
Telegram channels close to the Kremlin published a photo that shows Shamsiddin Fariduni on the ground, with his trousers and pants pulled down.
A wire from a military communications device TA-57, which security forces use for torture with electric shocks, appears to be connected to his intimate parts.
According to the Gray Zone channel, it discharges voltage up to 80 volts. Water is then poured on the victim to intensify the pain.
Fariduni was detained on suspicion of committing the massacre at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow’s Krasnogorsk on Friday evening, in which 137 people were killed and more than 180 more injured,
Four men, all citizens of Tajikistan, are now being charged over the assault, which ISIS claimed responsibility for, in a court in Moscow.
Vladimir Putin’s security forces have been leaking footage of torturing them ever since capturing them.
One was seen with his ear sliced off, while another was seen severely bruised after beatings.
While electrocution is commonly reported by detainees in Russia, to parade these torture scenes so openly is new even for the Federal Security Service (FSB).
The four men have been charged with committing an act of terrorism. They were led blindfolded into a courtroom in Russia’s capital, where three of them pleaded guilty to the charges.
Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, 32, Saidakrami Rachabalizoda, 30, and Fariduni, 25, face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
