Investigative actions took place in the case of the explosion of a gas pipeline that occurred in August in the Crimean village of Perevalne. Ametov was taken to the Crimean special services building and tortured with electricity during the day, confessing.

"The first discharge was painful, I endured and decided to hold on, but I realized that I would not last long, then - the second blow, then I got the third, after which my brain began to melt, I did not control anything. I shouted: everything, I will sit behind the device, to which I was told that now I do not solve it, and continued to strike electric shocks. I thought I would not get out of there", - Ametov said in a video message posted by the Crimean Solidarity NGO on Facebook.

Before the torture, he was told that he was suspected of involvement in the explosion of a gas pipeline in the village of Perevalne, Simferopol district, and demanded to tell about it on a polygraph.

After the torture, he was forced to undergo a polygraph, which showed that his suspicions were unfounded, and then the security forces forced Ametov to sign a document stating that he had no claims against them.

I insisted on a lawyer. He said, "Oh, lawyer?" And here was the first electric shock", - Nariman Ametov said.
