Robert Amsterdam posts “a secret video made in 2006 by a prison guard of a ‘Preventative Actions' exercise by the OMON (special police squad) performed at a prison camp in Yekaterinburg”: “The appalling instances of beatings, torture, inhumane treatment and excessive and arbitrary violence shown in this recording inarguably represent a fundamental violation of human rights.”
Disclaimer: the video below contains scenes of real violence committed against prison inmates by OMON (Russian police forces). It is not recommended for sensitive viewers.
Human rights abuses by Russian authorities (OMON) exposed on a secret leaked video from 2006 by activist Lev Ponomarev of the Foundation for the Defence of Prisoners. Ponomarev succeeded in getting brief excerpts of the video aired on REN-TV. Visit www.robertamsterdam.com for more information.
