Disabled Man, Beaten And Suffocated By Policeman, Is To Be Sent To Prison
ALIAKSANDR SHKURATAU

The police want to indict a robbed invalid for receiving stolen goods.

Aliaksandr Shkuratau is a disabled person of group II, he has got aching legs. But the man tries to make his living, has some machines and a small farm. Last autumn, he went to hospital for a checkup. When he was at the hospital, he first received a telephone call from the Chyhunachny district police department of Vitsebsk, and then police officers came to visit him, as the alarm at his plot had gone off, the Belsat TV channel’s site writes.

On the way to the department, in the police UAZ, Senior Lieutenant Sharapau, in the presence of a police ensign and a major, threateningly demanded from the victim the documents for the things stolen from his plot: batteries, two angle grinders and a welding machine.

"If you do not submit documents for every stolen thing, then I'll just bend you over backwards at the plot and have you. I said: I'm not going to talk to you in such a tone, I will complain your leadership about your actions. Then he grabbed me and started to choke. He squeezed my throat, his hand was next to my face, I felt suffocated and tried to bite him," – victim Aliaksandr Shkuratau recalls.

The attempt to escape only enraged the policeman

"He jumped up and hit me hard with his elbows. I tried to cover myself. And he said: don’t you understand who I am? I'm not joking with you. And another blow hit my chin. I covered myself, felt unwell," – Aliaksandr Shkuratau shares.

After the incident, the man went to the Internal Affairs Department of the police. There they listened, promised to investigate into the case and dismiss Sharapau.

Meanwhile, the Chyhunachny district police department has sent officers to make a search

The police want to indict a robbed invalid for receiving stolen goods – a metal tub. Allegedly, two of the detainees in the Detention Unit have given testimony against Shkuratau. The victim believes it’s pressure from the side of the policeman who has attacked him and his direct leadership.

"Senior Lieutenant Sharapau said that if it had not been near the police department, he would have taken me somewhere and buried there," – Aliaksandr adds.

Can you believe the guardians of the law who violate the law themselves?

Reports of police violence, inadequate behavior of police officers and tortures in the police departments have been coming up all the time. The other day, policemen beat a man, who stuck up for a stranger, in front of children in Khoiniki. One of the Kobryn district police officers broke a man’s leg, as he was walking drunk along the street.

The Vitsebsk police refused to comment on the case of attacking an invalid. The Ministry of Internal Affairs believes that the public outcry around the police outrage is an information attack.
