Ukrainian Civilians Suffer Systematic Torture in Russian Facilities, UN Says
A recent UN report has detailed harrowing accounts of torture inflicted on Ukrainian civilians held in Russian detention facilities. The report highlights cases of mock executions, electric shocks, and the use of prolonged stress positions imposed on individuals for non-criminal acts.
Among those affected is freed Ukrainian journalist Dmytro Khyliuk, who had been in Russian captivity since March 2022. He was recently released during a swap of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs).
Dmytro Khyliuk was photographed disembarking a bus following the prisoner exchange amid Russia’s ongoing attack on Ukraine. The location of the exchange remains undisclosed.
