Rysk värnplikt med livet som insats

Från Reuters:

"A young conscript is close to death after two drunken officers at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome beat him with belts and then dumped him in a dog cage, an official said Friday. (...) Bullying and abuse are commonplace in the military. Conscripts are sometimes killed or seriously injured by beatings, though the Space Forces prides itself on high levels of discipline and is seen as an elite branch of the armed forces. (...) Doctors last year amputated the legs and genitals of a conscript who was abused at the Chelyabinsk Tank Academy."

Uppdatering 28/8: SvD publicerar nu en TT artikel om fallet.
