The Russian federation: Denial of Justice

Prix réduit - 5 CHF: Amnesty International, 2001, 100 p.

This report focuses on specific violations of international human rights and humanitarian law by Russian law enforcement and security forces. Throughout the Russian Federation, the torture or ill-treatment of women, men and children in custody is virtually routine. Conditions in the country's disease-ridden and overcrowded pre-trial detention centres are generally so appalling that they amount to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.
