According to Russian authorities, all four of the Tajikistani suspects have been placed under remand until at least May 22nd, when they will be put on trial.
Medical staff remained with Fayzov while he appeared in court, dressed in a hospital gown and pants. It seemed like he was cut several times.
The other three suspects showed up in court with severe facial edema and bruises, following accusations in the Russian media that the security services had subjected them to torture while they were being questioned.
Before the hearing, they were seen on camera being dragged about the courthouse.
IS-K, an affiliate of the Islamic State (IS), has taken credit for the attack on Friday. To date, there has been no confirmation of the Russian authorities’ claim that the men were attempting to flee to Ukraine when they were apprehended.
In the hours after the event, several of them looked to be being arrested on the side of the road, according to graphic video footage that went viral online.
