When I asked about the cause of his death, he said that he cannot give any information.
I went to the morgue and saw the corpse of my brother. Traces of torture were on the face, hands, neck, lower back, and on the feet. The feet were very swollen.
At the morgue, I was given a document that did not list the cause of the death.
There I took a photo of the corpse of my brother," said Simuzar.
