The liberal party Iabloko in Russia has called for an investigation into allegations of torture against electoral expert Aleksandr Kînev following his arrest. Kînev, accused of drug trafficking, reportedly suffered severe injuries during his arrest by FSB special forces. He had previously denounced electoral fraud in recent parliamentary elections. Reports indicate he was subjected to electric shocks to force a confession, and he is currently hospitalized with serious injuries. His arrest has raised concerns among his colleagues and family, who believe the charges are fabricated.
