"Read What I Said, or I'll Shoot You"

For "BT," the security forces forced the guy to confess to "mass riots."

18-year-old Denis was caught on the street by security officers when he got off the trolleybus and went to the train. As a result of a document check, he was caught and dragged into a minibus, and later transferred to a paddy wagon. There, the guy was put on his knees, and they hit his head hard on the metal. He and other detainees were taken to the Frunzenski ROVD, "Belsat" reports.

There, according to the young man, he was bullied and insulted. It was not even the OMON who behaved more aggressively, but the employees of the department themselves.

"There was a female policeman with a metal bat. She walked around, hitting people on the head, saying that we are damned bastards. One of the policemen made them say that Aliaksandr Ryhoravich is the best president. Those who did not speak were beaten.

Denis was beaten only with fists and feet, without the use of truncheons. The guy says he was "lucky" because he was chosen to be in a TV report, which was later shown on the evening program "Panorama." In the story, Denis says that he and other detainees were coordinated and incited to provocations by foreign coordinators.

"The boss himself told me not to beat me hard. I was taken to a separate room. Some man ordered me to read out a specific text, and if I don't memorize it or refuse, I will be shot or sentenced to 15 years in prison for drugs. "

At Akrestsin Street, the detainees were even given water, says the Minsk resident. But the human attitude ended there.

They looked for journalists and beat them badly

Then there was the prison in Zhodzina. People were insulted, forced to stay in a stretched position, beaten. Denis heard the sounds of a disc grinder and the roar of people. There were 52 people in a cell with 12 beds. They didn't even give out toilet paper.

"They said to wipe with your palms. There was only one guard who gave us paper during all this time. They looked for journalists and beat them on purpose. There were people from Akrestsin Street; they said that they beat them harder, but when they heard stories from the Frunzenski ROVD, they said that such things didn't happen. Those with tattoos were severely beaten. "

Now Denis is free and arrived at his parents' place. The young man was forced to sign a document stating that he must appear in court; otherwise, he would not have been released.
