![]() ![]() Russian human rights defender Oksana Chelysheva have just talked to Elena Bojkova on phone. She feels sick suffering from both asthma which aggravated after her detention and consequeces of the closed head trauma which was diagnozed by doctors at aid point at polyclinic #28 of Severnyy administrative district of Moscow in Pulkovskaja Street. Nevertheless, doctors refused to give her written confirmation of the trauma (but she got two X-ray photoes). At that, doctors told that her judicial representative will be able to get the written confirmation. They insisted on her hospitalization but she refused to go to hospital as it was necessary to go home first and then to hospital which is located on the other side of Moscow. She was not offered an ambulance. Bojkova was detained in 1905 Street metro station when she was entering it. Two policemen told that they had received an order with her photo to identify and detain her. She was taken to the police station of Krasnopresnenskiy district of Moscow. There she was told that the police had detained her because of "cursing". She was put into a solitary cell where she spend some four hours. Her condition started to go worse when she was in the cell. Then two agents with the Anti-Extremism Center (former UBOP) came to pick her up. Elena tells that she has no complaints about those two agents. As they saw her gasping for breath and having high fever, they offered to buy whatever medication she needed. They went to a drug-store and bought it with their own money. Those two agents brought her to the prosecutor's office of Zamoskvoretskiy district. She was interrogated by invetigator Bachurin in office room 527. She remember from the papers that Bachurin is a 3rd-class lawyer. There were some other people present at the interrogation which lasted for more than six hours: those two agents who brought her to the police station entered the room from time to time (but they spent most of the time in the corridor), and one more investigator from the same prosecutor's office (Elena remembers part of his name, Mamed or Mamedovich)... Bachurin told her that she was interrogated as a suspect under the criminal case on 282 with regard to the action in the Jolki-Palki restaurant. She was offered two options: to either give a self-confession and be released on orders not to leave premises of Moscow or be immediately put into a armored police vehicle to transport convicts and detained. Bachurin used verbal insults calling her "wretched extremist" (the milder expression). In Elena's words, she was beaten up by Bachurin. Nobody tried to stop him. Bachurin was hitting her at the back of her head. To stop beatings and feeling worse and worse because of air shortage and high temperature, she submitted and signed the self-confession that she is a member of NBP which is a banned organization in Russia. Elena needs a lawyer and medical help. |
