Kadyrov accuses Moscow of torture

AP is reporting that Chechnya’s Moscow-backed President Ramzan Kadyrov is accusing Russian federal authorities of torturing detainees at a federal-run facility in the town of Urus-Martan. The facility is controlled by a southern district federal unit known as ORB-2.

The Chechen government website is running a report that a criminal case is to be opened into the matter, and will be handled by the Chechen judicial system.
