Vodka Echo

A boy dragged out of the Azov prison near Kiev has told his story He says he lives just 200 meters from the house and went to the protest after school when his friends told him what was happening. Men at the house sprayed him with a gas fire extinguisher, and he says he nearly suffocated bricks were thrown at him they tried to hit him with a hockey stick When he climbed over a gate, Azov thugs knocked him down with a shovel to the back and dragged him inside. "The deeper they carry me in, the more people start beating me," he says. About 10 men in black uniforms and balaclavas beat him with shovels, boots and fists, and grabbed him by the hair. They carried him to the second floor, put him face down and interrogated him. He says he was hit so hard on the head that he could no longer see or hear. They then threw him against a wall and smashed his head into the floor, leaving him with a bloody nose and a chipped front tooth. The Azov thugs then cut off his T-shirt, pants and underwear with knives, and filmed him naked and covered in blood while they kept beating him and shouting and even raped him.
