⏺Violent beatings on the principle of “crowd on one“ with the use of bars, batons, hammers; torture by electric current, chokehold and drowning; imitations of shooting up; psychological violence... These types of illegal influence are already being used by the Ukrainian security forces against almost all SMO participants taken prisoners. Unfortunately, the fighters who were returned home yesterday after receiving qualified medical care in another region of the Russian Federation were not exception. At the same time, I note that now the Kiev punishers openly torture not only the captured military personnel, but also their relatives. Moreover, they are trying to make money out of the grief of wives and mothers. Thus, representatives of the Ukrainian law enforcement agencies extort money from the families of war prisoners, promising in return to “facilitate the speedy exchange” of one or another fighter. And the relatives of the guys, whom my representatives interviewed on the way to Donetsk, faced this personally. I once again urge the relatives of captured soldiers to resist such provocations and not to transfer funds to third parties. This is pure fraud. I emphasize that agreements on the exchange of prisoners are carried out exclusively at the level of official representatives and authorized bodies of the Russian Federation and Ukraine. ️ For my part, I insist on the need of the international human rights community to respond to the mass facts of the use of illegal methods of influence on war prisoners in Ukraine. I will also inform the competent authorities about the identified cases of extortion by representatives of the Ukrainian enforcement agencies of funds from the families of captured SMO participants. @DPR Ombudsman Источник: DPR MFA
