Court orders to reconsider decision in case against law enforcers beating a disabled person from Krasnodar

In Krasnodar, the Court of Cassation returned a case on beating of Yevgeny Manchenko by law enforcers for a new consideration.

The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that the Krasnodar Territorial Court granted an appeal filed by patrol-and-post police service (knowns as PPS) inspectors Vyacheslav Zyabkin and Vladimir Tatarkov, who were sentenced to four and three years of probation for beating Yevgeny Manchenko, a disabled person. The verdict was cancelled.

In March 2019, two policemen beat Yevgeny Manchenko, who was trying to climb over the fence into the yard of his house, because he had lost his keys. At that moment, the policemen ran up to him and hit him with a baton on his leg. When Yevgeny Manchenko fell to the ground, the policemen continued to beat him, a mother of the victim said. According to the woman, her 23-year-old son is disabled and is diagnosed with developmental disabilities.

Vyacheslav Zyabkin and Vladimir Tatarkov were found guilty of using violence against the person with a disability, the “Kavkaz.Realii”* reports.

Lawyers representing the interests of the victims will seek to ensure that the guilty verdict against the policemen remains in force, states Sergey Romanov, the head of the Krasnodar branch of the human rights project “Team Against Torture”**.

*Included by the Russian Ministry of Justice (MoJ) into the register of foreign agents.

**The “Team Against Torture” (formerly the “Committee Against Torture”) was created by lawyers who earlier worked for the “Committee Against Torture” (CaT), which was included in the register of NCOs performing the functions of foreign agents.
