War in Ukraine: “Terrible extent of torture in Kherson”, says Ukrainian official

A senior Ukrainian human rights official spoke on her television Ukrainian and reported that he had visited Chersona, where he found a formidable range of torture.

“I have never seen” torture “on such a scale,” “after visiting all the torture chambers in different regions of Ukraine,” said Dmytro Lubinets, the parliament’s human rights official, speaking on national television. “The scope of the phenomenon is tremendous.”

“Dozens of people” were tortured with “electric shocks, beaten with metal pipes. Their bones were broken” and “the Russians were filming all this”, he emphasized. “I am sure that in every large area we will discover a torture chamber. As this is a system Russia has established.”

Ukrainian authorities have announced that they have discovered several torture chambers in areas of the Kherson region after they were recaptured by Ukrainian forces after months of occupation.

A resident of Kherson told AFP that he was detained for weeks in the city when it was under Russian occupation. He states that Russian and pro-Russian officials tied him up, beat him and subjected him to electric shocks during his detention.
