Synopsis
In the run up to Russia’s 2018 World Cup, the FSB arrested 11 young antifascists and anarchists linked only by playing an online game. Once arrested, these boys vanished for two days. Their relatives, lawyers and human rights activists could find no trace of them. When human rights activists finally located them in an FSB prison they were seen to have bruises, injuries and traces of electric shock. All those involved had signed confessions under torture linking them to a terrorist cell, but later they refused to testify.
In April, 11 young defendants in the Penza case will go on trial in Moscow.
