Investigation promised into brutal Russian army bullying
As investigators probed the incident, rights groups attacked military officials for condoning bullying in the military and warned such crimes would continue until conscription was abolished.
Doctors said Private Andrei Sychev, aged 18, remained in a grave condition after his legs and genitals were amputated following the New Year’s Eve incident at the Chelyabinsk Tank Academy, in which older soldiers forced him to spend hours crouched and beat him.
