It appears the suspects in the Moscow concert hall terror attack are being assaulted while in custody – they were seriously injured and barely conscious during their first court appearance.
The suspected terrorists were photographed Sunday in a Russian courtroom, where they appeared to have cuts and bruises on their swollen faces as they faced terrorism charges following Friday’s carnage. In truth, Saidakrami Rachabalizodaa 30-year-old suspect entered the courtroom with a bandage on his ear and several visible bruises on his face.
32 years old Dalerdjon Mirzoyev was also photographed with a black eye as he sat behind plexiglass to appear in court. He also appeared to have the remains of a plastic bag around his neck.
Mukhammadsobir Faizova 19-year-old suspect, appeared to slip in and out of consciousness during proceedings, and doctors had to attend to him in court – his bare chest was visible as he wore a medical gown while sitting in a wheelchair.
In total, 4 men were accused of committing an act of terrorism after at least 137 people were killed and another 100 injured in the terrible attack at Crocus City Hall in Moscow.
ISIS has since claimed responsibility for the tragedy.
Rachabalizoda and Mirzoyev have already pleaded guilty to their involvement in the terrorist attack, which involved shooting and setting fire to a Russian music venue.
25 years Shamsidin Fariduni was also arrested in connection with Saturday’s attack.
