Remember the leaked Yekaterinburg video of prison torture? A whistleblower initially leaked the a copy of the tape to human rights activist Lev Ponomarev, who then provided it to us … and from there everything took off. Well apparently the FSIN (Russia’s penitentiary department) is planning on filing a lawsuit against the person who allowed the video to get circulated. I’m sure Donald Rumsfeld must be wondering why he didn’t think of threatening to sue Joe Darby for leaking the Abu Ghraib photos… The following is an exclusive translation of an ITAR-TASS story from Gazeta.ru. FSIN to file suit in connection with video recording about beating of prisoners The Federal Service for the Execution of Punishments of Russia (FSIN) intends to file suit against the circulator of a video clip, on which is recorded how employees of the OMON are applying truncheons in relation to the inmates of one of the colonies in Sverdlovsk oblast.
