Kyiv • UNN
The head of a Russian prison in the occupied Luhansk region was informed of suspicion of ill-treatment of civilians, including torture and deprivation of food and water, in order to force them to cooperate with the occupiers.
Igor okhrimenko, the head of the Russian prison in the temporarily occupied Luhansk region, was informed in absentia of suspicion of ill-treatment of the civilian population. About it UNN reports with reference to the press service of the SBU.
The Security Service documented the war crimes of another accomplice of the invaders from the temporarily occupied part of Luhansk region. We are talking about Igor okhrimenko – a former official of the local unit of the disbanded police, who supported the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation
The SBU says that after the capture of Starobilsk, the man went to cooperate with the aggressor. Already in June 2022, he was appointed head of the occupation prison.
In fact, this institution functioned as a torture chamber, to which participants of the resistance movement in the region were taken, the ministry said.
According to the investigation, it was okhrimenko who organized the protection of the cells and perimeter of the Russian prison where the abducted people were held.
In addition, the defendant personally participated in numerous tortures that took place in dungeons.
"Illegal prisoners were kept for a long time without food and water, and their execution was simulated. Thus, okhrimenko "beat out" the consent of the victims to cooperate with the invaders, " the SBU said.
Subsequently, he was appointed head of another occupation "pre-trial detention center" in the temporarily occupied Luhansk. There, he continues to participate in repressions against local residents.
Based on the collected evidence, law enforcement officers informed okhrimenko in absentia about suspicion under Part 2 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (ill-treatment of the civilian population committed by prior agreement by a group of persons).
Since the person involved is hiding in the temporarily occupied part of eastern Ukraine, comprehensive measures are continuing to find and punish him, the ministry added.
