Sergei was detained in his apartment, severely beaten and convicted of “violence against a policeman” in Gomel. Sergei said that after the brutal detention, they continued to beat him at the Central District Department of Internal Affairs.
“They beat me, jumped on my head, insulted me and laughed when I cried,” Vereshchagin said. The lawyer added that he received at least 100 blows to different parts of his body.
In October 2021, he was transferred to prison regime.
