Russian political scientist Alexander Kynev, arrested last week on drug charges, was reportedly hospitalized with bone fractures and other injuries sustained during his arrest and detention. Fellow political scientist Yekaterina Schulmann said on her show that Kynev's leg was broken by people pressuring him to confess to treason. Yabloko party leader Nikolai Rybakov has written to Russia's Interior Minister demanding an urgent investigation. Rights groups say the case fits a pattern of violent pressure on government critics in Russia, raising concerns about due process and the treatment of detainees in Russian custody.
