At least 20 torture centers in Kherson, Ukraine were financed by the Kremlin, report says
"Working closely with Ukraine's Office of the Prosecutor General, a paper trail has been exposed that shows that the main torture chambers in Kherson and those administering them do so through the financial support of the Russian state," Wayne Jordash, an international human rights lawyer and managing partner of the law firm Global Rights Compliance, told CNBC.
Prior to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the State Department had a small team in the country providing operational assistance to the prosecutor general.Russian forces have relocated at least 6,000 Ukrainian children to camps since start of war, new report says War crime prosecutor of Kharkiv Oblast stands with forensic technician and policeman at the site of a mass burial in a forest during exhumation on September 16, 2022 in Izium, Ukraine."The goal is to support ultimately the prosecutor general in his efforts to do effective investigations to international standards, to put together dossiers on responsible individuals and ultimately to bring criminal cases in domestic courts," she added.
In Kherson, more than 1,000 Ukrainians gave first-hand accounts of their time in the torture centers, which were located in basements of abandoned buildings as well as in former prisons. More than 400 people were also reported to have vanished from Kherson torture sites, but it is not clear if they were killed or taken to Russian-held territory.
In some cases, Ukrainians were forced into memorizing and reciting pro-Russian slogans, poems and songs.
