Human-rights observers said that videos reflect the horrific reality in Russia’s prison system and are consistent with previous leaks and torture cases

MOSCOW—Russian law enforcement opened criminal investigations into reports of widespread prisoner abuse and several officials in the penitentiary system were fired in cases that human-rights advocates say point to systematic torture in prisons across the country.

The probes come after prison activist group Gulagu.net posted footage it says depicts abuse, humiliation and beatings in prison facilities, part of a trove of more than 1,000 videos that the organization has been leaked. The Wall Street Journal couldn’t independently confirm the veracity of the videos.
