Almost two months have passed since the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall in Russia. In connection with the attack, the police detained several people, including the four alleged perpetrators.
One of them recently appeared in court in Moscow. "Appeared" is the right word, as the man was in a wheelchair, and his condition is quite alarming. He looks as if he had been severely tortured or under the influence of psychotropic drugs.
In the video, one of the four perpetrators of the terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall is seen being brought to court in a wheelchair, straight from the intensive care unit. Practically a vegetable now. The Moscow court decided that their detention would be extended until August 22 - reads platform X.
In this case, no scenario can be ruled out. Let's recall that in April, one of the detainees was a 30-year-old Chechen. Security forces tortured him after his arrest. He had broken ribs and spine, choke marks on his neck, and bruises visible on the rest of his body.
Over 140 killed in the attack
After the terrorist attack, the Federal Security Service announced the detention of 11 people suspected in this case. The courts arrested ten.
