“5 liters of blood and 48 blows”: It became known how Rifat Dautov died
Family buried Rifat in February, but he is still involved in the “mass unrest” case Baymak.
Dautov’s relatives insisted on an independent investigation and disagreed with the conclusions of the Health Ministry’s forensic expert The Bashkortostan Mikhail Lapinwho described numerous bruises, abrasions and skin damage, but stated that these were not the cause of death.
«Taking into account the thickness of the hematoma, the volume of internal blood loss should be at least 5.19 liters“, concluded the independent specialist. At the same time, he stated that there were “at least 48” blows and that the total affected area represented “at least 30% of the body surface.”
“No less” – since the study was carried out on photographs and the exact number of blows could not be restored – the bleeding merged into a solid bruise.
Rifat Dautova on January 18, a day after a mass rally in Baymak against the verdict of a Bashkir environmental activist, was placed on the federal wanted list Alsynov fail (sentenced to 4 years actual imprisonment). The reason was allegedly an attack on the police chief of the Russian Interior Ministry Sterlitamak Rustam Asanov On January 17, one of the protest participants in Baymak hit him “with his hands in the head area, which caused him physical injuries in the form of bruises to the soft tissues of the scalp.”
However, the victim himself “identified” Dautov from a photo only on January 25, according to documents obtained by the publication Idel.Realii. And Rifat wasn’t in Baymak that day – he was passing through, according to his sister Ufa I had a medical exam before the next shift and came over to visit her in the afternoon.
Dautov was arrested in the village on January 25 New Chebenki in the Zianchurinsky district of Bashkortostan, where he came with a girl to visit her parents. Apparently it was the National Guard who took him away (at least it was their unit that was taken into custody). They took the man to Baymak, where he handed him over to police officers who brought other prisoners to Ufa in connection with the same case. And even during the “transplant” it was clear that the man was not doing well (at that). statedincluding other detainees).
The man was never brought to the state capital. On the way, the convoy called an ambulance to a gas station, and the doctors who arrived pronounced him dead. It was the early morning of January 26th. And almost immediately as soon as it was a fact publishedThe propaganda public rushed to accuse the man of alcohol, sweating and drug use. Neither one nor the other not found even the “full-time” forensic pathologist (who, as it turns out, isn’t even accredited).
«In addition to the volume of internal bleeding incompatible with life due to damage to larger vessels, direct confirmation of this diagnosis is also signs of hemorrhage of internal organs and traumatic shock“
— the independent expert stated.
A criminal case over Rifat Dautov’s death was never initiated; the relatives received another refusal on June 24, 2024 from the senior investigator of the inter-district investigative department of the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee for the Republic of Belarus Ekaterina Tikhonova. Now a family lawyer Pavel Wassiljew is preparing another petition in hopes of “getting the investigative machine running – and doing so in accordance with the law.”
