Harrowing footage appears to show Russian forces torturing suspects in the Moscow concert hall terror attack — with one fed his own ear and another writhing in agony from electric shocks to his genitals – as senators warn ISIS-K could target Americans.

Footage circulated online appears to show members of the security forces cutting off the ear of one of the suspects in the attack that killed more than 130 people — and then stuffing it in his mouth, according to the Guardian.

One of the suspects was later seen in court with a huge bandage covering his ear area.

Another appears to show security forces beating suspects with rifle butts and kicking one as he lay in the snow.

Photographs posted on Telegram also appeared to show one of the suspected terrorists with his pants down and a wire attached to his groin, Ukrainska Pravda reports.

The wire delivered 80 volts of electricity to the man’s genital area as water was poured on the suspect’s head to intensify the effects, according to a description provided by the Grey Zone Telegram Channel.

Some of the suspects were later seen in a Russian court Sunday showing clear signs of injury, including swollen faces and cuts and bruises.

One suspect, Mukhammadsobir Faizov, 19, was even brought into the courthouse in a wheelchair and seemed barely conscious throughout the entire proceeding.

He was attended by medics in court, and was wearing a hospital gown and pants, and was seen with multiple cuts.

Another suspect, Saidakrami Rachabalizoda, 30, was seen with a bandage around his ear, while a third entered the courthouse with a blindfold — and when authorities took off the blindfold, a black eye was clearly visible.

A court statement said Rachabalizoda and another suspect, Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, 32, pleaded guilty to participating in the terrorist attack.

Rachabalizoda, Mirzoyev, Faizov and Shamsidin Fariduni, 25, were arrested in connection with the terrorist attack on Saturday and were charged with committing a group terrorist attack resulting in the deaths of others, according to the Guardian.

They were caught in the southern Bryansk region, where authorities said they disabled their vehicle and then apprehended the suspects as they fled into a nearby forest.
