🇧🇾#BELARUS_2020 | Torture

This is what says girl detained by punishers in Belarus:
- We were detained yesterday, put everyone facing the wall, forced to put our hands behind our backs. Some were thrown to the ground, then taken away...
We were treated worse than dogs! They were like fascists in 1941!

It was even worse in ROVD (police station) and paddy wagon - there specifically were beaten! 10 people beat me, beat me with truncheons, insulted me, threatened me with death. They brought me to my knees and took my pants off...

They said: all of you who are against Lukashenko are stupid cattle, animals, sheep, to you pays the West
They treated us worse than animals! They promised to put me in jail for 10 years, shouted that I was a terrorist...

❗️Оказывается, мы мало что знали о Беларуси - и о режиме Лукашенко.
Побывавшие в белорусских тюрьмах российские журналисты описывают ужасы, которые мало чем отличаются от Северной Кореи - и это происходит в европейской стране!
Очень рекомендую прочитать


"People lay like a living carpet in pools of blood." Terrible reportage: how detainees are beaten at rallies in prisons of Belarus

On the evening of August 10, in Minsk, before a protest against the results of the presidential elections in Belarus, Nikita Telizhenko, a correspondent for the Russian edition of Znak.com, was detained. He came to Belarus on the instructions of editorial office. During the day after the arrest, there was no connection with him. Nikita was released only on the evening of August, 11. About endless beatings, humiliation, pain - in his reportage from the Moscow police department and the prison in Zhodino.

DETENTION
I was detained on August 10 at the moment when the whole Minsk was going to the second protest action against the election results. Fighting vehicles, trucks were already being pulled to this place, there were a lot of military men, riot police and militia in the passages and between houses. I just walked and watched the preparations for the rally. I saw water cannons, wrote about it to the editorial office, and literally a minute later police officers approached me, they were in usual uniform. They let me go

At the bus stop at the Palace of Sports, I saw how everyone who got off the bus was grabbed by riot police and put into a paddy wagon. I took some pictures on my phone. Then I went to the side of the stele "Hero City", where the day before there was a real massacre between protesters and security forces, to see how this place looks after the massacre. But halfway there a minivan drove up to me. Equipped riot police jumped out of it and ran up to me. They were looking for coordinators of the action, they knew that in Telegram the protesters exchanged information about the movement of the security forces, reported ambushes. They decided that I was one of them. I tell them: "I don't even have Telegram on my phone, I'm a journalist, I send SMS to the editorial office." They grabbed my phone, read the messages, and then put me in the car. I repeated to them that I was a journalist, to which I received the answer: "Sit, authorities will come and figure out."

Soon "Gazelle" arrived, which was altered specifically for a paddy wagon. There were three compartments, two of which had a blank door and small window. I was tied up and thrown there. I asked for a phone number to inform the editorial office that I was detained.

— And you are not detained, — one of the riot police told me.

Then they took my passport and saw that I'm a citizen of Russia.

— And what the fuck are you doing here?

This ended the dialogue with Riot police.

I sat and waited for the "Gazelle" to be filled completely with the same "not detaineds" as me. This took half an hour.

Nearby sat pensioner Nikolai Arkadyevich, 62 years old. He was detained when he was going to the store and saw that riot police were grabbing boy. “I stood up for him, tried to fight him off. I told them: he is a child, what are you doing?"
As a result, the boy ran away, and the pensioner was detained and got hit in the liver. He asked to call ambulance, but no one didn't react

16 hours of hell in the Moskovsky district police department

We drove for 20-30 minutes
As soon as stopped, riot policeman in bulletproof vests yelled: "Face the ground !!!"

Several security officials flew into the paddy wagon, and bent our arms behind backs so that it was almost impossible to walk.

They deliberately hit one guy with his head on the doorframe. He screamed in pain. In response, they began to beat him on the head and shout: "Shut up, bitch!"

In the building of police department, we were first taken to a room on the fourth floor.

People there were lying on the floor as living carpet, and we had to walk right on them. “Everyone on the floor, face down,” they yelled at us. But there was nowhere to lie, people were lying everywhere in pools of blood.
We could lie only on stomach, face down. Guy next to me turned his head to the side and immediately got a kick in the face with army boot.
