Dmitry Muratov*: «In my country, professionals in torturing people have reappeared — punishers»

2025.05.25

Nobel Prize laureate Dmitry Muratov on the need for a new holiday in modern Russia — Punisher's Day, as torture of the defenseless in detention centers, courts, and prisons has become a declaration of love for the Motherland

Dmitry Muratov reminds us of the current political prisoners, with whom the state has dealt with particular cruelty. The oldest was thrown into a dungeon at 67, the youngest — at 14.

Not everyone will survive the dungeons. Just now, for example, Alexey Gorinov was found to have tuberculosis. That is why now, during the massive prisoner exchange, he needs to be exchanged or simply pardoned. We must save them in time because there is a war to exterminate them.

 

* Recognized as a «foreign agent» in Russia
