In Tadjikistan, tortured prisoner lost his left ear
According to relatives of prisoner Umed Teshev, who stabbed the prison head with scissors in the city prison of Kulob, the southern part of Tajikistan, he was tortured by jailers and now his life is in danger.
The Public Committee against Torture located in Dushanbe reported that the relatives of Umed Teshev appealed to the Committee asking for help hire a lawyer.
“We spoke with Umed Teshev’s relatives. They do not have information whether Umed is alive or not. According to them, Umed Teshev’s former attorney visited him in the prison. The lawyer told his relatives that Umed’s hands were swollen, he could not move his fingers, and his left ear was cut off,” representatives of the Public Committee against Torture told local reporters.
