Peskov noted that it is too early to talk about the results of the inspections, since they "began quite recently."
“But checks are underway, you know, the system has responded, new information will certainly be considered,” said the spokesman for the Russian leader.
Earlier, RBC reported that the human rights project Gulagu.net published new videos with six cases of torture and abuse of prisoners, which were allegedly filmed at the Saratov Regional Tuberculosis Hospital No. 1.
In October, the Investigative Committee of Russia opened seven criminal cases on the facts of torture of prisoners in the Saratov region.
The department of the Federal Service for the Execution of Punishments in the Saratov Region announced the dismissal of 18 employees for negative reasons after checking reports of torture of prisoners in the prison tuberculosis hospital (OTB-1).
At the same time, 11 people were brought to the strictest disciplinary responsibility.
