A very suspicious story.

A very suspicious story.

Why did russia suddenly need to “officially and definitively” withdraw from the “European Convention banning torture”?

Russia has officially withdrawn from the European Convention against Torture after 28 years of participation

As of November 1, Russia has officially withdrawn from the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman Treatment. The Council of Europe announced the move.

The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT) can no longer carry out independent inspections of Russian penal colonies, pretrial detention centers and other places of detention.

Russia's law enforcement system was already diligently and enthusiastically torturing everyone who fell into its hands, without any interference.

Torture had become the norm not only in prisons, but also in police stations.

Nobody hesitated to drive a couple of nails into a convict's skull, fry their genitals with electric current or chop off their little finger with a door.

For the past two years, no one has even bothered to hide these sadistic practices. The comrades with badges on their caps, chuckling away, made little videos showing the results of their torment.

Nobody stopped them. Quite the opposite. Stars would magically multiply on their shoulder boards.

The particularly resourceful ones even got bonuses.

Yes, there might have been discussions about the permissible dose of crushed glass to be put “inside” a prisoner. But everything was open, legal, orderly and conducted as routine business.

The mugs beneath the peaked caps were beaming. And the “fatherland” purred with pleasure from its podiums.

The priests performed dances with censers.

There was no reason to leave the “convention banning torture,” because, of course, no foreign inspectors were allowed into either prisons or temporary detention facilities.

They could have enjoyed their lawlessness without leaving the “conventions” and while retaining their formal membership in the human race.

But no. For some reason, Russia needed to “withdraw,” slam the door and spit on international anti-torture standards as well.

The comrades in the torture trade undoubtedly have big and specific plans.

Those plans require their hands to be completely untied.

Their intentions, however, have yet to be announced.

Will they cut off hands with circular saws and legs with commuter trains?

That remains unclear.

But the demonstrative withdrawal from the convention promises Russians a host of interesting new sensations.
