Some orphans can recall being starved as a form of punishment. Others are made to stand naked by windows or in cold dark rooms in the middle of winter. These orphans are also being deprived of their constitutional rights. In Article 7, section 1 of the Russian constitution states The Russian Federation is a social state whose policy is aimed at creating conditions ensuring a worthy life and free development of the individual. Free development and a worthy life is not by any means being tied to a bed and starved.
Torture is another huge issue in Russia concerning human rights.
Police frequently beat out confessions or use such methods as suffocating, using gas masks, and electroshock. Sometimes the prisoner is put in jail cells with inmates trusted by the police. Lawyers are never allowed in on these interrogations until after a confession is made. Although judges know most of these confessions are forced, one judged estimated up to 80 percent, they are taken as legal. There has been some public out cry when these prisoners are permanently injured or killed, but fro the most people leave it alone because they fear police harassment.
