| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkazUzel] A group of the most active participants in the riots in the Vladikavkaz colony was taken to a correctional facility in Dagestan. As "Caucasian Knot" wrote , on October 15, riots broke out in a strict regime colony in North Ossetia, accompanied by a fire. The Federal Penitentiary Service claims that two prisoners from the punishment cell during the searches refused to obey the demands of the employees of the institution and called on other prisoners to riot. Investigators opened a criminal case on organizing and participating in the riots. According to their version, in the correctional colony, at least two hundred prisoners took part in the riot in the colony. The riots in the maximum security penal colony took place a week after the appointment of a new head of the FSIN in North Ossetia, which toughened up the treatment of prisoners, the sources said. Prisoners told the anti-torture hotline in places of detention that beatings preceded the riot. They achieved a meeting  with the human rights ombudsman in the republic. The Ombudsman said that earlier prisoners of this colony went on a hunger strike, protesting against the tightening of discipline, and that there were many infrastructure problems in the institution. The prisoners were divided into several groups. A total of 36 of the most active participants in the riot were rushed to a maximum security colony in Dagestan, Osnova reported on October 16. Initially, it was planned to send them to Chechnya, but at the last moment this decision was changed, the Baza Telegram channel reported. In total, they plan to send 150 people to different regions, the report says. There are no messages from the sending of part of the prisoners to the colony in Dagestan as of 7.00 Moscow time today on the website of the Federal Penitentiary Service for North Ossetia. |
