Russian outcry over prison brutality video

Handcuffed and helpless, Yevgeny Makarov is held face down on a desk as more than a dozen prison officers take it in turn to beat him. They punch the soles of his feet first, then thrash them with truncheons. This is no frenzied, spontaneous attack. The methods are calculated to cause maximum pain. The guards have to rest, exhausted, between beatings. The assault took place more than a year ago at Prison Number One in Yaroslavl, 272km (169 miles) north of Moscow.
