They tried to force Nariman to sit down at the polygraph and talk about the terrorist attack near the gas pipeline, but he refused. After that, a certain Maksym came to him, who said that he would do everything so that he would confess, and for him it will be nothing.

“They put some rags under my ear. I felt that wires were being pushed in there, felt their movement across my face and realized that I would be electrocuted. Maksym asked if I had changed my mind. I insisted on a lawyer. He said: “Huh, a lawyer?” And then there was the first electrocution”,- Nariman said.

He was electrocuted over and over again. After the man could no longer stand, Nariman sat down at the polygraph. He was asked about whether he brought a telephone from Ukraine, whether he was familiar with the employees of the Ukrainian authorities, whether he transferred anything from Ukraine to Crimea. To all this, Nariman said no.

“Some FSB officer came and said: “You told the truth. You are not involved anywhere, not exposed. You are clean.” And he added that they supposedly no longer needed me. But they warned: if I spread the information about the torture that happened here in the basement, they will publish a paper on cooperation with them, which I signed”,- the man said.

We remind you that on December 17, in the city of Eski Qırım, Russian security forces searched the house of the Crimean Tatar Ametov Nariman. The man is suspected of committing sabotage. The occupants claim that he was involved in the explosion in Perevalnoe. But later he was released.
