Nemtsov suspect tortured, forced to confess, activist says
The main suspect in Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov's killing has signs of torture on his body and was forced to confess to the shooting, a human rights activist said Wednesday.
Investigators didn't confirm or deny the accusations made by Andrei Babushkin, a member of a Russian human rights commission. But they said Babushkin may have broken the law by making the comments. Babushkin told The Associated Press that he visited the detention center where main suspect Zaur Dadaev had been held on Tuesday. Babushkin said there were abrasions on Dadaev's body and that he had been "tortured by those who detained him" and later taken to the Investigative Committee, where "he was forced to confess."
