We identify those who personally participated in the torture of Ukrainians — we have the strength and means
The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Denis Monastyrsky told about this in an interview to the Public.
So far, 23 prisoners have been identified in Kharkiv region, three in Kherson and one in Donetsk. In particular, only in the territory of Kupyansk there were 8 torture houses.
According to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, large-scale work is being carried out to document crimes and identify persons involved in bullying of Ukrainians in torture chambers.
“I am optimistic about the issue of establishing the defendants in these cases. Some of them - we already understand who was there directly. Specifically, if we talk about Balaklia, it is the OMON from Togliatti... We are now identifying who personally participated in the torture of our citizens there.”
The minister said that he was most struck by the torture in Balaklia: “It was on the site of the police station. And there, up to 40 people could be held in the cells at the same time, according to witnesses, hundreds of people passed through this torture chamber.”
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that the Russian occupiers used electric current to people, beatings, various bullying, in particular - plucked nails.
“Today, the police have at their disposal more than 25,000 hours of audio interviews of the occupiers, where they talk about their crimes. I am convinced that we will be able to establish who exactly did this,” Denis Monastyrsky stressed.
