"Russian Security Services' Brutal Treatment of Terror Suspects Sparks International Outcry"
Russian authorities shared graphic footage of the violent interrogation of four Tajikistani citizens suspected of carrying out a terrorist attack in Moscow, justifying it as a prevention measure and a response to public demand for "blood and revenge."
