“In Kherson, prosecutors are still investigating Russia’s crimes: torture sites have been identified in four buildings,” the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office said on Telegram.
The Ukrainian General Prosecutor’s Office announced today Monday that it had discovered four places of torture used by the Russians in Kherson during the Russian occupation of this southern Ukrainian city until its recapture by Kiev troops on November 11.
“In Kherson, prosecutors are still investigating Russia’s crimes: torture sites have been identified in four buildings,” the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office said on Telegram.
According to the prosecutor’s office, Ukrainian investigators went to “four” buildings, mainly “temporary detention centers” before the war, “where during the occupation of the city, the occupation authorities illegally detained people and brutally tortured them”.
“Pieces of a rubber club, a wooden club, a device used by the occupying authorities to electrocute civilians, an incandescent lamp and bullets (…) were seized,” the same source added, ten days after Kherson was recaptured by Ukrainian army.
“The work aimed at ascertaining the places where torture chambers and illegal detention of people are located will continue,” Ukraine’s general prosecutor’s office said, clarifying that it also wants to “identify all victims”.
After Kherson was liberated on November 11, Kyiv has repeatedly accused Russian “war crimes” and “atrocities” in the Kherson region. Moscow has so far not reacted to these accusations.
