An unidentified 37-year-old Chechen refugee awaiting his deportation from Austria was brutally beaten by 3 to 4 policemen equipped with anti-riot shields and wearing helmets in a prison in the eastern Austrian town of Eisenstadt. The policemen dragged the Chechen out of his cell and started beating him after he asked for a doctor. The refugee suffers from a heart desease. The beating lasted for 10 minutes, his prison mates said.
Afterwards, the policemen transferred him to another prison. The incident happened 3 weeks ago but the Chechen was afraid to complaint fearing further police beatings. After his lawyer made a complaint, the police accused the Chechen of beating their cops and speeded up his deportatin procedure, a provincial service of the Austrian State TV and Radio Company reported.
