A former orderly who alleges that patients at a psychiatric hospital in Russia’s Tatarstan region are often stripped, bound, and beaten for minor infractions could be facing criminal charges after complaining about widespread abuse at the facility.
Denis Kirillov has been called into the Kazan office of the Investigative Committee for questioning and told that he could face prosecution for “giving false testimony.” Kirillov also faces a civil lawsuit from former co-workers for allegedly “harming the commercial reputation” of the hospital.
