Two Russian soldiers will be tried for torturing a civilian in Kherson region

This was reported by the press service of the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office.

The report says that under the procedural guidance of the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office, an indictment was sent to court against two Russian army servicemen on the fact of cruel treatment of civilians and other violations of the laws and customs of war (Part 2 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The investigation established that the accused, during the temporary occupation of Kherson, illegally detained a civilian in the premises of the seized National Police building in Kherson. The prisoner was treated with particular cruelty and tortured. In June 2022, they, along with other members of the Russian army, broke into a private household. The perpetrators searched the house, beat the civilian, accusing him of collaborating with the AFU, and then detained him.

During his detention, the victim was interrogated and tortured. He was kept in grueling, unsanitary conditions unsuitable for a long stay. Due to constant torture, the man was forced to give an interview to Russian media, in which he confessed to actions he did not commit. After almost a month of illegal detention in Kherson, the victim was transferred to another detention center in Donetsk region.

The special pre-trial investigation was carried out by investigators of the Main Department of the National Police in Kherson region.

Earlier it was reported that an FSB officer who participated in the illegal detention and torture of civilians would be tried in Kherson region. The investigation established that the accused, while in occupied Kherson, in collusion with other Russian military personnel, illegally detained a resident of a local village in the seized premises of the National Police.

It was also reported that former SBU officers from Crimea tortured a civilian resident of the peninsula.
