A court in Siberia's Irkutsk region has found five police officers guilty of torturing suspects, the local investigations committee said on Wednesday.
The investigation report said the police officers used "unauthorized interrogation methods," including beating two suspected robbers and forcing them to do push-ups wearing gas masks.
Four of the officers, including a police major, were sentence to three years in prison for abuse of power and the other received a four-year sentence for infliction of moderate bodily harm.
