In Bashkortostan, Russian security forces continue to beat protesters who came to support Fail Alsinov, who was recently illegally convicted of allegedly inciting hatred or enmity, and humiliating human dignity. Russian media report this.
Security forces detain protesters, beat them with batons, pour tear gas into them, and throw stun grenades into the crowd. It is known that in the locality the Internet and many media outlets that broadcast the events have now been blocked, or have deleted materials, or disappeared altogether.
Protesters began posting on social networks an appeal to the military who are taking part in the SmO, calling on them to return.
“I call on all fighters of Bashkortostan to leave the territory of Ukraine and return to their homeland to defend their land and their people. While you are fighting for the ambitions of one person, your people are being beaten with batons by riot police and the National Guard. Go back to defend your land”,- the unidentified protester said in her appeal, which she published as a video.
