7 torture chambers, 8 places of detention are found in Kherson region - Ukraine’s police

Andrii Kovanyi, Acting Head of the Communications Department of the National Police's Main Office in the Kherson region, said this during a media briefing.

“Currently, 7 torture chambers and 8 places of detention have been found in the de-occupied territories. Three torture chambers and one place of detention are directly in Kherson itself. Another four torture chambers and seven places of detention are in the Beryslav district. But these are not all. These are only those that I can speak about as a policeman,” Kovanyi said.

The law enforcement officer emphasized that more than 300 people were detained in just one torture chamber in Kherson. This data may not be final, because the number is growing.

• On November 16, a torture chamber was found in Kherson, where Russian forces abused Ukrainian citizens.

• As of November 17, according to the  Ukrainian National Police, the bodies of 991 civilians were found in the territories of the Donetsk, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv and Kherson regions liberated from the occupying Russian forces. 

• The Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, was shocked by what he saw in Kherson torture camps, where Russian soldiers abused Ukrainians.

• In Kherson, prosecutors continue to record the Russian Federation's crimes - on November 21, execution sites were established in four more buildings.
