MOSCOW, December 10 (RAPSI) – The Supreme Court of Tatarstan ordered the Interior Ministry to pay a victim in a Dalny police station torture case 60,000 rubles ($857) in compensation, RAPSI learned on Thursday in the Kazan civil rights protection center.

Earlier, the court ruled in favor of a plaintiff and granted him 150,000 rubles ($2,100) in compensation.

The Dalny police station gained notoriety in March 2012 when, according to investigators, the police tortured a detainee, Sergey Nazarov, to death. His family claimed that the officers had abused the man using a champagne bottle. After the incident, investigators revealed several more incidents of torture at the police station. Some 14 people were co-claimants in the case.

Eight police officers were found guilty of abusing power and causing serious injury. They were sentenced to terms between 20 months in a settlement colony to 13 years 11 months in a high security prison.
