Makeleio in Moscow: The Kremlin does not comment on the news that the prisoners were tortured for the attack

He did not want to comment on the news that those arrested for the very dead in Moscow were tortured. In particular, the Kremlin did not say a word about taking responsibility on behalf of the jihadist organization Islamic State of the attack in Moscow, which has cost the life to at least 137 people, as long as the investigation is ongoing, while President Vladimir Putin has proposed for his part the scenario of Ukraine’s involvement, which Kiev denies. “The investigation is ongoing and the presidential administration would be wrong to comment on the development of the investigation. We will not do it,” the Russian President’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, assured. He said that the head of the Russian state does not at this stage foresee going to Crocus City Hall, the place where the tragedy unfolded. In addition, the Kremlin spokesperson refused today to comment on the torture complaints against the suspects of the Moscow suburbs attack, which were expressed after the publication of videos on social media and photographs where they are distinguished with the face full of blood. “I will not answer this question,” Dmitry Peskov said, asked by journalists. In the footage of their arrests, broadcast by Russian state television, three of the men have blood on their face. In another video, released online and the authenticity of which has not been confirmed, one of the suspects is distinguished while a person, not seen in the lens, cuts his ear off. During the hearing in court last night, one of the suspects had a white bandage in his ear and another arrived in a wheelchair and had his eyes closed. Authorities have announced they arrested 11 people in total, among them the four alleged perpetrators, but the profile of the other suspects is unclear. Asked by journalists today about the remaining 7 arrested, Dmitry Peskov did not respond citing the investigation that is ongoing.
