Amnesty International reports torture in Ukraine

Electrocutions, virtual executions, stabbings, sleep deprivation

Beatings, torture with electricity, virtual executions: Ukrainian soldiers and pro-Russian rebels conduct them on captured citizens and enemies, according to Amnesty International.

 

The NGO speaks of at least eight cases of informal executions of Ukrainians held hostage by the rebels. Former prisoners of the Ukrainian army have also stated that they were hit until their bones broke, were tortured with electrocution, stabbed, hanged from the ceiling or not allowed to sleep for days. The report also mentions virtual executions.
