Tortured and abused civilians in Kharkiv region: 6 Russian soldiers identified
Kyiv • UNN
Six Russian servicemen have been notified of suspicion of torture and abuse of civilians in the occupied villages of Kharkiv region. The occupiers used physical and psychological violence against pro-Ukrainian citizens.
Six Russian military servicemen have been notified of suspicion of holding and abusing Ukrainians in torture chambers during the occupation of Savintsy and Dovhalivka villages in Kharkiv region . UNN reports this with reference to the Office of the Prosecutor General.
Details
Servicemen of the 3rd rifle platoon of the 4th rifle company of the 1st rifle battalion of the 202nd motorized rifle regiment of the so-called "lPR" and the chief of staff of the battalion of the 126th regiment of the national guard of the federal service of the national guard of the Russian Federation were served with suspicion notices.
Reportedly, on March 2, 2022, the Russian military, including the six suspects, took control of the village of Savintsy and the village of Dovhalivka in the Izium district.
According to the investigation, during the occupation of the settlements, the suspects held pro-Ukrainian citizens in torture chambers and abused them. To obtain information from the detainees about the Ukrainian military and local residents who help the Armed Forces, the occupiers used physical and psychological violence and torture.
Victims were tied behind their backs, beaten, and shot with automatic weapons near them, some were taken to the forest and mock executions. People were held in inhumane conditions, without access to food, water and in unsanitary conditions
One of the illegally detained men was reportedly stabbed several times in the leg by Russian soldiers, who turned the knife in the wound to inflict as much pain as possible.
One of the victims is a deputy of the village council of Savyn ATC. He was personally interrogated by the chief of staff of the battalion of the 126th regiment of the national guard of the federal service of the national guard of the Russian Federation. He threatened the deputy with physical injury, namely cutting off his genitals. At that time, another suspect was beating the victim. After the abuse, the occupants left the torture chamber and threw a smoke bomb inside the room, which caused the victim to suffocate. The perpetrators dragged the man to the yard, threw a rope around his neck and began to squeeze him, gradually restricting his air supply. At the same time, the occupiers asked the victim questions about local guerrillas.
"The man lost consciousness from lack of air, they brought him back to life and began to kick him while he was lying on the ground. This kind of torture was carried out several times," the Prosecutor General's Office said.
One of the victims, a man who was 59 years old at the time, sustained severe injuries incompatible with life as a result of torture by the occupiers. Other victims, fortunately, managed to survive.
The issue of putting the suspects on the wanted list is being resolved.
