Representatives of the occupation administration in the ORDO continue to mock the citizens of Ukraine.
The situation is extremely critical in Makeyevka Correctional Colony No. 32 in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk Oblast, where Ukrainian citizens, including 28 civilian hostages, are being held illegally. The Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmyla Denisova received such information from relatives of prisoners.
According to them, the administration of the penal colony turns off the electricity, supplying it only two hours a day. As a result, prisoners who are forced to cook on their own with the help of a kettle are starving.
Most prisoners have stomach problems: they are recommended only dietary, hourly meals, which cannot be provided in the absence of electricity. Some of them travel on walkers, which can lead to injury due to lack of light. Relatives are not allowed to give them candles and flashlights.
Medical care is also not provided to citizens of Ukraine. They are kept only on medicines that can be passed from time to time to parents and staff of the International Committee of the Red Cross. In addition, prisoners are not allowed to move freely, communicate with relatives by telephone, listen to the radio or watch television.
"I consider such actions by the administration of the Makeyevka Correctional Facility №32 as torture or inhuman or degrading treatment and in direct violation of Article 3 of the Convention and paragraph 22 of the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners approved by the UN Economic and Social Councils." , - Lyudmila Denisova emphasized.
The Commissioner asks the OSCE Co-ordinator in the Humanitarian Subgroup of the Tripartite Contact Group, Charlotte Relander, to intervene personally in order to verify the conditions of detention, medical care and release of Ukrainian hostages.
