was detained on suspicion of having committed theft of spare parts for military ammunition and the murder of his accomplice G. His initial questioning was conducted without a lawyer because the applicant had signed a waiver stating that he was aware of his right to legal assistance and that his refusal was not due to financial reasons.
7. On 16 February 2001 legal aid counsel was appointed to represent the applicant in the criminal proceedings.
8. From that date the applicant was detained in the Ussuriysk IZ-25/2 detention facility. During the first months of his detention he sent a number of letters to the prosecutor's office complaining about the lack of progress in his criminal case and various procedural violations on the part of the investigator. In his letter of 1 June 2006, in particular, he indicated that the assistant of the military prosecutor of the Ussuriysk Garrison, investigator D., had made threats "to hand him over" to the family of G. to let them take revenge.
9. On 15 June 2001 at about 10 a.m. investigator D. checked the applicant out of the detention facility in order to take him to some unspecified site, allegedly for investigative actions. The applicant was transported by operative officers K. and T., both of whom were armed, and he was driven in T.'s personal car. They drove to 33 Lermontova Street on the outskirts of Ussuriysk, where the car stopped. K. and T. told the applicant that they were waiting for D. to join them before they could proceed to the place for the investigative action. While they were waiting, at 11 a.m. another car later described as a "Japanese make" pulled in. Several armed men got out, opened the door of T.'s car, forced the applicant out and loaded him into their car. K. and T. offered no resistance to their actions. According to the applicant, they even helped the men to push the applicant into their car.
10. The armed men, who, the applicant maintained, were relatives of G., took the applicant to a house in the country and tortured him there until 5 p.m. the same day. According to the applicant, he was chained to a radiator pipe while the men took turns to administer blows with various objects, such as stools, benches and tools, burned him with cigarettes and crushed his fingers and toes. Every time the applicant passed out they would throw him under cold water until he recovered consciousness and then continued to torture him. Throughout the beatings they threatened to kill his family and demanded that he confess to the murder. At about 5 p.m. the men made an "anonymous phone call" to investigator D., telling him that he could collect the applicant from Frunze Street in Ussuriysk. The applicant was then brought to that street where D. found the applicant and took him back to the IZ-25/2 detention facility. In the detention facility the applicant underwent a medical examination which established multiple bruises, abrasions and burn marks on his body. He informed an operative officer, Major Kh., about the incident and on the following day sent a complaint, accompanied by the medical certificate, to the Ussuriysk Prosecutor's Office.
11. On 30 September 2001 the applicant sent a complaint to the Prosecutor's Office of the Dalnevostochniy Military Command that he had been ill-treated on 15 June 2001 and about the lack of follow-up to his complaint of 16 June 2008. He requested that criminal proceedings be instituted against the members of G.'s family and the officials who had handed him over.
12. On 19 November 2001 the applicant wrote to the Prosecutor's Office of the Dalnevostochniy Military Command reiterating his complaints of ill-treatment on 15 June 2001 and about the absence of any follow-up to his earlier complaint.
13. On 4 February 2002 the applicant reiterated his complaint to the Prosecutor's Office of the Dalnevostochniy Military Command.
