June 20, 2023

For the Russians who refused to participate in the war, there are at least 15 illegal prisons that the occupiers have created in the occupied territories of Ukraine. This was reported by the ASTRA Telegram channel.

According to media footage, there is a basement in the village of Rozsypne, Troyitske district, Luhansk region, which is used as an illegal prison. The video shows the soldiers lying and sitting on planks or concrete floors, using bottles instead of toilets. Also, there is no light in the room and you have to use lanterns instead.

Journalists claim that they have already discovered 15 such prisons for objectors: 9 are located on the territory of the Lugansk region, 5 – on the territory of Donetsk, 1 – in Kharkiv.

The existence of such prisons is contrary to Russian laws.

Earlier, the Crimean Tatar Resource Center launched the Grave Mobilization campaign, in which we talked about how to avoid forced mobilization in our publications: What to do if you were given a summons?, What to do if you were forcibly mobilized?, What will happen if you go to fight against Ukraine?, Why is the summons to the Russian army a death message? and How can I travel to third countries from the occupied territories of Ukraine?.
