His complaint went to the accused officers' own department
His complaint that he was coerced was sent to the district police division where the officers he accused worked.
On September 28, 2023, as the investigator recorded it, Travis complained that he had been forced to plead guilty and deprived of food and sleep. The investigator sent the complaint to the Khamovniki district police's own investigative division, the department where the officers he accused worked.
The next day his lawyer asked for an independent check and pointed to photographs of his injuries and to his intake medical records at the detention center. The request was refused the same day.
The state's own forensic psychiatrists recorded his report of a concussion after his detention and his statement that his admissions were given "under pressure."
