How Ukraine Torture Sites Became New Norm
The UN has accused Ukrainian law enforcement authorities and armed forces of torturing detainees and subjecting them to sexual violence in a newly-released report.
A significant increase in violations of the right to liberty and security of persons by Ukrainian security forces has been documented by the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) since February 24, 2022.
"In territory of Ukraine under control of the Government of Ukraine, OHCHR documented 91 cases of enforced disappearances and arbitrary detentions (79 men, 12 women) committed by Ukrainian armed forces and law enforcement agencies," the report said, adding that most detainees were arrested for suspicion of collaborating with, or other forms of aiding, Russian Armed Forces.
In addition, the international organization documented the arbitrary detention of 88 Russian civilian sailors, one of whom died from a chronic condition due to the lack of adequate medical care.
The report also refers to the spike in conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) in territory controlled by Kiev between March and July 2022. As per the OHCHR, these cases mostly affected men and consisted predominantly of threats of sexual violence during the initial stages of detention by Ukrainian law enforcement officers, and of forced public stripping of alleged lawbreakers by civilians or members of territorial defense forces.
More of those facilities were found in the liberated regions of the LPR. One of them was an abandoned gas station that had been under the control of the Right Sector*, a paramilitary confederation of several ultranationalist and neo-Nazi organizations founded by Dmytro Yarosh in November 2013. The coalition played a considerable role in the illegitimate February 2014 coup d'etat in Kiev. In LPR, the Right Sector resorted to gruesome torture practices by drowning Lugansk civilians alive in gasoline storage tanks.
Victims of the Ukrainian torture machine have given a plethora of testimonies detailing inhumane attitude towards them and brazen violation of their human rights by the Kiev forces.
In June 2022, a Donbass resident who returned from Ukrainian captivity described on record instances of physical and psychological abuse which he had been subjected to during two months.
"I was tortured with a stun gun and sticks," the man said, adding that threats were also issued against his family. When asked what goals the Ukrainian military pursued by torturing him, the man noted that besides attempts to break his will his tormentors also derived some sick pleasure from watching him suffer.
