Two times before, the media reported about “suicides” in the same pre-trial detention centre, known as Vodnik, where Kotov died last week. Once, in 2020, there was a "suicide attempt" - the prisoner survived.
Olga Romanova, from the prisoners’ rights organisation “Russia Behind Bars,” believes that Kotov’s case was intended to be the first criminal case for being “a member of an extremist LGBT organisation.”
The information is confirmed by Kotov’s lawyer, who said that the authorities claimed Kotov committed suicide at 4 a.m., reports the Russian human rights group OVD-Info. t.me/ovdinfolive/...
