A group of detained Russians were sent to one of the harshest prisons in Tunisia.
This was reported by the fiancée of one of the detainees, who refers to a lawyer for Russian citizens.
11 tourists from Russia were placed in a prison called Mornaguia, RIA Novosti reports.
This place is known for the extreme cruelty to prisoners. There are known cases of torture and abuse of prisoners.
The fiancée of one of the detainees reported that the Russians were detained in early November.
They went to a settlement called Haidra to visit ancient Roman monuments. The place is located near the Algerian border.
After some time, the Russians stopped communicating. Only later did it become known that they had been detained and taken into custody. The reasons for the arrest have not yet been reported.
The Mornaguia prison itself is located near the capital of Tunis.
Since 2010, the prison has been under international scrutiny due to numerous human rights violations.
