[KavkaUzel] The security forces tortured Khasan Islamov, a resident of Chechnya, to confess to organizing an illegal armed group. The court sentenced him to 6.5 years in prison, ignoring Islamov's statements about torture and his innocence. The investigation issued 10 rulings refusing to open a criminal case, the Team Against Torture reported.
Khasan Islamov's mother Tabarik appealed to human rights activists in September 2019. She said that on February 3, 2019, in the village of Savelyevskaya of the Chechen Republic, security forces detained her three sons: Khasan, Hussein and Kharon. Hussein and Kharon were released almost immediately, while Hasan was left behind. Human rights activists managed to meet with him in the pre-trial detention center. Islamov said that after his arrest in February, he was taken to the security department, where two security officials beat him with their hands, feet and beat him with a stick, demanding that he sign a confession that he planned an attack on law enforcement officers, the Team Against Torture reported today* .
