"I was beaten for demanding that they produce their documents": law enforcement officers stormed the Yekaterinburg bar "Ruki Vverkh"
On Tuesday, December 30, security forces burst into the Yekaterinburg bar "Ruki Vverkh." According to patrons, three white UAZ "Patriot" vehicles pulled up to the venue and people in camouflage got out.
"I was just smoking; they demanded my documents but did not show any identification themselves. When I demanded that they show their documents first, they beat me. They dragged our boss away by the scruff of his neck somewhere, but then they released him," a patron told the EAN publication.
Another patron clarified that after checking the documents the security forces left the bar. Earlier it was reported that security forces carried out a raid targeting migrants at Koltsovo Airport.
