"Looks like hell": Kherson residents told about the torture they had to endure in the occupation - AP

The publication writes that 5 torture rooms and 4 in the Kherson region were found in Kherson itself. The Ukrainians were kept under the castle, beaten, tortured, interrogated and threatened with death. "For several months, we received information about torture and other types of persecution of civilians," said Alexander Matviychuk, chairman of the local human rights organization "Center for Civil Liberties". According to her, the worst findings are still ahead.

AP journalists spoke with a 24-year-old Chernobayivka police, who was tortured by Russian invaders. Yes, a man named Dmitry White is the son of a serviceman. Last year, more than ten Russian soldiers broke home and demanded to hand over a gun. Otherwise, he was threatened with the "disappearance" of his mother and brother. The publication writes that the white gave his gun to the soldiers who had vending machines. However, he was still pulled from home and taken to prison in Kherson.

According to him, he was locked in the chamber and tortured for several days. Yes, his genitals and ears were shot. "It was like hell in my whole body," White recalled. Journalists write that Russian investigators accused the white of having a Kalashnikov machine, not just a gun, and forced him to tell about his father's whereabouts. The second man, who communicated with the AP journalists, asked only his name.

Yes, a 22-year-old young man named Igor was torture for allegedly giving Ukrainian military positions of Russian invaders. He was also beaten. "You will not get out of here, and we will kill you," Igor told him the words of Russian soldiers. As the senior Amnesty International Advisor Brian Castner said, the documentation of crimes in Kherson would be a difficult task because the city has been occupied for a very long time.

We will also remind that NYT reported that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation killed 7 Ukrainians during the occupation of the village in the Kherson region. Men worked as guards. One of the locals said they allegedly spied on the Russian military. They were tied their hands before murder, journalists claim. Focus also reported that the doctors in Kherson cheated the Russians so that they would not capture the hospital.
