The graphic video, which contains six clips, are dated July 2015-September 2020 and are marked 18+ for adult audiences only.

According to the group, the abuse took place in OTB-1, a prison the Saratov region, close to the border with Kazakhstan. "These terrifying videos are unpleasant to watch and will cause stress and indignation," Vladimir Osechkin, the founder of the Gulagu.net rights group, wrote.

"But it's important to show the entire world the torturous essence of Russia's prison system to punish those guilty and force the Russian authorities to finally end their inhumane secret methods," Osechkin said.

The rights group also claims that the prisons employ gangs of rapists to provide cover for them if their presence was questioned. However, it's alleged their actual job was the routine sexual abuse of inmates as part of a "criminal conspiracy" operating within the jail. It is not known what please Putin and his administration get out fo yet or the real purpose behind this brutality.

The rapes are allegedly filmed and the footages are sent to the security services so that it could be archived and then used as blackmail. The shocking video footages come after Gulagu earloier exposed a sickening video that showed a naked man screaming in pain as he is tied to a bed and violated with a mop handle at a tuberculosis hospital in the jail.
