Resident of Volzhskiy demands to check circumstances of her son's suicide in colony
The mother of the prisoner, who committed suicide in prison in colony in Volgograd, has send her applications to the General Prosecutor's Office (GPO), the Investigating Committee of the Russian Federation (ICRF) and the FSB demanding to investigate the circumstances that brought her son to suicide.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on June 30, the 25-year Sergey Chebaturkin committed suicide in the colony, known as PKU LIU-15. According to his mother – Irina Chebaturkina, her son did not want to return to Colony No. 19, where he was serving his sentence, for fear of extortions and beatings by the staff thereof.
According to Chebaturkina, in July 2012 her son was sentenced to eight years in colony under Article 228 (illegal purchase, storage, transportation, production and processing narcotic drugs) of the Criminal Code.
The woman has added that on the fact of her son's death the Dzerzhinsky Division of the ICRF for the Volgograd Region held a procedural check and refused to open a criminal case.
In her applications, Irina Chebaturkina reported about "systematic illegal actions against her son committed by the staff of the above Colony No. 19, namely: extortions, sexual violence and use of physical force."
The situation is being studied by Pavel Radchenko, the head of the Department of the Federal Penitentiary Service (known as FSIN) for the Volgograd Region, said Tatiana Podskrebalina, the head of the press service of the Department.
