Vladimir Putin’s security forces are caught boasting at torturing a
Moscow concert hall massacre suspect - in a rather gruesome way. The image shows the suspect being tortured with an electric shock being passed through his genitals. The Tajikistan “terrorist” is seen on a gym floor with his trousers pulled down and wires evidently attached to his groin area. The wires appear to be from a TA-57
MILITARY field telephone, capable of discharges of up to 80 volts, with the suspect's mouth visibly foaming while he appears to clench his teeth. A man in military uniform stands with his foot on the leg of the suspect, who has been named as Shamsuddin Fariddun. The picture was released to Telegram channels sympathetic to the security services. While barbaric, this is a known electrocution torture technique in
Russia . It follows an incident where one of the suspect’s ears was cut off on camera with a knife when he was detained in Bryansk region on Sunday. A telegram channel linked to Wagner paramilitary force said the picture shows how “an ordinary interrogation takes place using a military field telephone TA-57, in common parlance ‘Tapik’. It said: “By turning the coil…discharges are released through the wires... up to 80 volts, which in turn are connected to the prisoner by the fingers, ears or genitals. For best effect, the captured militant should be poured with water."

The favoured method of disposing of “traitors” by Wagner - headed by former Putin crony Yevgeny Prigozhin - was with a sledgehammer to the head, videos of which were also released. Human rights group gulagu.net - which highlights widespread torture in Putin’s jails - said: “For more than 10 years, we have been consistently exposing torture and its systemic nature in Russia. It is obvious that
sanctions for these tortures, as well as for the torture of Ukrainian prisoners, are given from the very top. "The same as with Prigozhin using a sledgehammer… an executor of the will of the murderer and dictator
Vladimir Putin . If there is all the evidence and [it] has been collected, why should the FSB torture the Tajiks? So that they take the blame and voice a version [of the atrocity] convenient for Putin and the FSB?” Fariddun was allegedly seen staking out Crocus City Hall on March 7 when he was pictured at the venue. This coincided with a warning from the US and
UK embassies in Moscow about the imminent threat of a strike on a crowded venue. Exiled journalist Dmirty Kolezev - editor of Republic media - said: “The
Russian security forces are leaking photos showing that detained terrorist attack suspects are being tortured with electric shocks by tying wires to their genitals. I have no doubt that after this there will be admissions that the order to kill people in Crocus was given to them personally by Zelensky. "Torture is, unfortunately, commonplace. What is unusual here is that the security forces used to bashfully hide this. But now they are proud of it and, apparently, they themselves release photographs of torture to friendly Telegram channels.”
