Suspicion of torture
Terror in Moscow: Four men in custody
Four Tajiks are in custody following the attack on a concert hall in Moscow. Three of the four suspects have pleaded guilty, according to the court. At least 137 people were killed in the terrorist attack last Friday and 97 injured people are still being treated in hospitals.
The injuries suffered vary in severity, said the head of the health administration in the Moscow region, Lyudmila Bolatayeva, on Monday. As reported , armed attackers killed at least 137 people at a concert hall last Friday night. The fire was opened shortly before the start of the event. A fire broke out in the building and the roof collapsed. The jihadist militia Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility for the attack.
Suspects injured
Four men suspected of the crime are now in custody (see video above). Three of them have pleaded guilty, according to the court. One of the Tajiks was brought to court in a wheelchair. Another had a bandage over his right ear, another suspected accomplice had a black eye and a torn plastic bag around his neck. The face of a fourth suspect appeared to be swollen and he could barely keep his eyes open.
Human rights activists speak of torture
Human rights activists spoke of alleged torture by Russian security forces. "The answer to barbarism must not be barbarism." Violence and harassment would also have a negative impact on investigations. "We have always said and will always say that the value of evidence obtained by security forces through torture is critically low. Instead of the truth, a person usually says what can stop or at least interrupt this torture," said the "Komanda protiw pytok" (Team Against Torture).
The answer to barbarism must not be barbarism.

According to the organization, people are repeatedly tortured in Russia, but mostly behind closed doors. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov did not want to comment on these reports on Monday. He also said nothing about the background to the attack on the concert hall, referring instead to information from the Russian law enforcement authorities.
Victims to be supported
The victims and their families are to be supported. Russian ruler Vladimir Putin intends to consult with security experts on this on Monday. Putin and other Russian representatives continue to claim that Ukraine is involved in the crime. There is no proof of this and the Ukrainian leadership has rejected this. At least 137 people were killed in the attack and 97 injured people are still in hospital as of Monday.
