Released Russian Putin Critic Recalls Prison TortureIldar Dadin says he was transferred to a penal colony where prison guards tortured inmates while accompanied to music of Putin's favorite rock groupBy Marc BennettsMar 17, 2017 at 12:52 PM ETIt’s been a little over two weeks since Ildar Dadin, a civil rights activist opposed to President Vladimir Putin’s long rule, was released from Russia’s sprawling penitentiary system, and the memories of the torture he says he suffered at the hands of prison guards are still raw.“They beat me for three days, cuffed my hands behind my back, and hung me up by the wrists,” he told Vocativ, during an interview in Moscow. “They also pulled down my shorts and said they would bring in an inmate to rape me if I didn’t call off my hunger strike. I was considering suicide, because I realised that they had broken me, both physically and mentally, and I couldn’t see the sense in living anymore.”Continued: http://www.vocativ.com/412414/russia-putin-critic-prison-torture/
