Moscow. Roman Aghayev â€“ APA. Azerbaijani student of the Moscow State Open University Chemistry School Orkhan Khanlar Sharifov, 21 was cruelly beaten, APAâ€™s Moscow bureau chief reports. On December 4, several men attacked him near Kitay-gorod subway station. Sharifov is Russian citizen. â€œI was beaten when in the subway passage when I returned from the bakery. I stood up and asked nearby people who beat me. They showed a man who talked with several others at the subway exit. I approached them and asked him why he beat me. They attacked me again and beatâ€, said Orkhan Sharifov and added that there were several soldiers at site during the incident but they became indifferent and didnâ€™t try to help him. â€œThey were beating me and no one around didnâ€™t come to help. I could escape but they caught me again near the subway entrance. There was police officer and he stopped assaulters and took them away to the police officeâ€.

Orkhan Sharifov said friends of those men at police office tried to pressure him and even offered money to end the investigation. â€œThose who beat me were previously convicted people and one of them is former police officer. They talked me into agreement with them. They said it would be better for both of usâ€.
