Top prison officials in Saint Petersburg have been charged with the rape of two prisoners, one of whom was awaiting trial.

Seven members of the Russian federal prison service, including the head of operations, Yevgeny Petrov and his deputy Rostislav Balobolko have been charged with numerous abuses.

The violent attacks were allegedly carried out on two male prisoners, both of whom attempted to escape from a prison in the Saint Petersburg region.

In one of the cases, Mr Balobolko has been accused of ordering prisoners under psychiatric care to carry out physical and psychological violence as a punishment.

Two convicts in a psychiatric block were allegedly ordered to carry out violent sex acts on the prisoner.

In the second case, Mr Petrov was charged with personally raping a prisoner while filming the attack and ordering other inmates to also engage in the sexual assault.

Four convicts have also been charged with sexual assault in the two cases.

But it is a shame that prisoners are being abused...This should be a crime against humanity..

Mind, you this is common in many jails through out this planet...

In many countries they use body search...Which is very embarassing for most women that have had this experience...Especially young girls...

I believe that there should be severe controls to avoid these abuses that do take place in many prisons, and jails...Where the detained cannot defend himself, or herself to such abuses...Generally done by very sick persons..or sex abusers..
