Russia: Chechen Lawyer Beaten by Chechen Policeman

David McDuff of A Step At A Time translates a Prague Watchdog article about “force without justice”: “'Thereupon [the police station’s acting head], insulting both the lawyer and his client in language that can’t be quoted, leapt up from his seat and punched [the lawyer] in the face, after which he grabbed him by the throat and tried to punch him again. However, [the lawyer] managed to break free and leave the building,’ the human rights activist says.”
