Consequences of Police Violence

This week-end Stas Pachobut had medical operation on face.

During the operation the medics inserted a screw into Stas’s cheekbone. The screw will hold the broken bone. According to the medic of skull-surgical department of Horadnia regional hospital Aliena Klachko he will also have to wear a special gypsous hat. Eight months after the operation the one half of his face will stay motionless. The medics wouldn’t have had to do this operation, if they could give Stas treatment a week before.

At present Horadnia Prosecutor’s office caries the check-up on complain, filed by Stas’s brother Andrei, concerning the fact of beating by the police. At the end of the week the Prosecutor will have to decide whether to initiate a criminal case against the policemen who had beaten Stas Pachobut, leader of the rock-band “Deviation”, correspondent of “Navinki” newspaper on September 8.
