Venäläisen ihmisoikeuspuolustaja Aleksei Sokolovi pidätettiin. Vankeudessa Sokolovia uhkaa kidutus ja muu epäinhimillinen kohtelu. Amnesty on kampanjoinut yhdessä Sokolovin järjestön Pravovaia Osnova kanssa vuosia.
Human rights defender Aleksei Sokolov was detained on 13 May, and is in danger of torture and other ill-treatment.
Aleksei Sokolov told his lawyer that police had threatened him while he was in custody that they "could not beat him but would know how to torture him," and said, "You thought you could control us, nobody can control the police. You’ve got what you deserved as a human rights defender." His lawyer told Amnesty International that the police had used handcuffs to inflict pain on Aleksei Sokolov and that he saw marks from the handcuffs on Aleksei Sokolov’s wrists.
As a suspect in a crime, Aleksei Sokolv may be detained without charge for up to 10 days. A judge ruled that he was such a suspect on 14 May, saying that as a member of the public commission for the control of places of detention, Aleksei Sokolov might use his position, which enables him to visit detainees, to influence those detainees, including the other suspect in the robbery, during the investigation of the case. He could, for instance, persuade the other suspect to withdraw his statement implicating Aleksei Sokolov.
Aleksei Sokolov expressed concern that the police might try to pressure him into making a "confession." He has worked on many cases of detainees who have been tortured or otherwise ill-treated to make them confess, and believes the police might do the same to him.
