Belarusian programmer Sergei, who uncovered the topic of brutal torture in the Saratov hospital and provided journalists with gigabytes of evidence, has requested political asylum at the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. Nothing threatens his life and freedom.
„A young Belarusian who himself went through torture in the FSB, press huts and overcrowded jail cells, worked without pay for 5 years in the most famous Russian torture center OTB-1 in Saratov, has transferred the secret video archive of the FSIN / FSB to the human rights project Gulagu.net. He who has risked his life to save others and stop the terrible torture, is now in Europe, where human rights and democracy are respected ... We will urgently appeal tomorrow to the French authorities and ask them to protect Sergei“, the website Gulagu.net says.
