Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Information about the oppression of Muslims in Penal Colony No. 19 in Surovikino, where hostage-taking took place on August 23, is false, the Federal Penitentiary Service Directorate for the Volgograd Region stated, without providing evidence to support its claims.

As reported by the Caucasian Knot", on August 23, in colony No. 19 in Surovikino, four prisoners (natives of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan), declaring themselves supporters of the "Islamic State"*, took 12 people hostage. Three employees of the colony were killed, two more later died in the hospital. As a result of the assault, the participants in the seizure were killed.

In IK No. 19 in Surovikino, where the prisoners took the colony employees hostage, the living conditions are extremely poor, and provocations against Muslims are practiced, which could lead to a riot, said human rights activist Igor Nagavkin. The reason for the incident was the dehumanization of the FSIN system, human rights activist Anna Karetnikova and journalist Vyacheslav Lemkus are sure.

"There was oppression of Muslims. When they were placed in punishment cells, their Korans and rugs were taken away from them. Although according to the Constitution and laws, these items are allowed when kept in punishment cells and punishment cells," Igor Nagavkin told the "Caucasian Knot."

The Federal Penitentiary Service Administration for the Volgograd Region called the information about poor conditions in Colony No. 19 and the persecution of Muslims unreliable.

"The information posted on one of the Telegram channels that the IK-19 of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for the Volgograd Region has poor conditions and provocations were staged against convicted Muslims is fake," Interfax quoted the agency's press service as saying. The publication does not provide evidence to support this claim.

The day before, the agency also denied, without providing evidence, the report that prisoners were encouraged with mobile phones and moonshine. "The information that in IK-19 of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for the Volgograd Region, the employees of the institution encouraged convicts with moonshine and mobile communications is fake," TASS quoted the agency's report on August 26.

The regional department's Telegram channel did not contain any refutations as of 20:00 Moscow time.

The fact that in the colony, convicts had the opportunity to buy phones with Internet access, so they could read prohibited literature, and for exceeding the plan they could receive packages or visits, was reported on August 25 by the Telegram channel Mash. The report also says that there was a homemade moonshine still in the colony.

The hostage-taking took place at a meeting of the disciplinary commission, where cases of malicious violators are considered, among other things. The participants in the hostage-taking declared themselves supporters of the terrorist organization "Islamic State", banned in Russia by the court, according to  the  "Caucasian Knot" report.

The hostage-taking in Surovikino  was the second  in the Southern Federal District in three months. It was preceded by a similar incident that occurred in mid-June in the Rostov pretrial detention center. In both cases, the attackers declared themselves supporters of the "Islamic State"*. The details were collected by the "Caucasian Knot" in the report " Hostage Taking in the Volgograd Colony and Rostov Pretrial Detention Center in the Summer of 2024 ".
