The head of the FSIN’s Internal Security Service was dismissed. According to Gulagu.net, this is due to the fact that he did not keep track of the export of the secret archive of torture.

Sergei Dyukov, head of the Internal Security Directorate of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, was dismissed. By data of the human rights project Gulagu.net, this is due to “a failure in operational work and the removal of the secret archive of the FSIN / FSB.”

According to Gulagu.net, the FSB leadership imputed to Dyukov secretly that it was the FSIN FSIN operatives who detained Sergei Savelyev in Pulkovo and let him go after signing a number of protocols and commitments to appear and allegedly agree to “cooperate”.

“They were fired not because there was a torture conveyor, but because the brave Belarus and Gulagu.net volunteers from France were able to reveal and show the world all the horror of the torture conveyor,” the human rights activists note.

Decree N729 is dated 12/28/21. The same day was fired and the deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service Anatoly Yakunin.

In early October, the Gulagu.net project reportedthat he had more than 40 GB of video, documents and photos at his disposal. These files testify to cases of mass torture in Russian penitentiary institutions. The inmates were raped and beaten, and they extorted money and information using torture. Vladimir Osechkin said that he received a video from a former prisoner-programmer Sergei Savelyev, who was “beaten and tortured himself, and then they decided to use him as a professional.”

After publications in the media, the IC department for the Saratov region excited a criminal case under the article on violent acts of a sexual nature committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy. Head of the Saratov Federal Penitentiary Service resigned.

Programmer Sergei Savelyev, who handed over a video archive of torture of prisoners to human rights defenders, was wanted. In mid-November, Vladimir Osechkin himself was again put on the wanted list. The human rights activist said that more than 10 documents in one of the cases brought against him were signed personally by the Deputy Head of the Main Operational Directorate of the Federal Penitentiary Service, Anton Efarkin, who was one of the objects of investigation by Gulagu.net. Earlier, the director of the Federal Penitentiary Service sent Efarkin to the post of Acting Head of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Saratov Region.

“We understand that the special services sent to Saratov ‘to resolve the issue’ and to conceal the topic of torture of the one who was involved in the Krasnoyarsk torture conveyor (about this in 2022) and in the falsification of some ordered cases against us,” Osechkin wrote.
