MP calls for investigation into torture of detainee in Vladikavkaz

In Vladikavkaz, armed law enforcers detained Batraz Gogaev and tortured him with electric current, trying to force him to confess to a crime. Soslan Didarov, a member of the republic’s parliament, demanded to launch an investigation.

Batraz Gogaev complained that persons unknown to him “tortured him with electric current during two hours and then transferred him to the Centre for Combating Extremism” (CCE, also known as Centre “E”). The above was reported by an author of the “Bloggerka. Northern Caucasus” blog on the “Caucasian Knot”.

MP Soslan Didarov reported on his Telegram channel that he learned about the incident from Batraz Gogaev’s relatives, who contacted his reception office.

“The story told by the Batraz Gogaev’s relatives caused terrible feelings of anger, disgust, and injustice. People in balaclavas on their faces and with firearms in their hands forced a guy’s car to stop at the entrance to Vladikavkaz. They forced him into their car ... then placed him to some kind of container and tortured him with electric current for three hours, forcing him to sign confessions to some crimes,” Soslan Didarov wrote.

The MP has also noted that Batraz Gogaev “is being kept behind bars.”

Tamerlan Tsgoev, Human Rights Commissioner of North Ossetia, has stated that “the republic that had the ‘Vladimir Tskaev’s case’ should not hear about such methods of work by the law enforcement bodies.”
