Evidence show facts of children torture in Kherson region

He published the video on his Facebook.

“Following the liberation of the Kherson region from the Russian military, new facts of brutal treatment have been revealed. Residents of the region were subjected to even more ruthless  methods of torture than those documented in other regions that have experienced temporary occupation, including Kharkiv, Kyiv, Chernihiv regions," the post reads.

He also informed that, on the territory of the Kherson region, evidence proved men and women were kept together 24/7 in the cells of the torture chambers for weeks. This is the first such case documented.

"We have seen torture, beatings, sexual violence, but we have never seen cases when men and women were kept in the same cells. Moreover, they were forced to stay there for weeks at a time. Women were forced to even go to the toilet in front of men, and men in front of women," the post states.

Lubinets also emphasized that surveillance video cameras were installed in each cell.

“Video and sound surveillance had been going on non-stop. Our citizens who were subjected to torture explicitly highlight this fact and explain that they were aware they were being recorded. Because as soon as the Kherson people started talking about the occupation, people in masks would immediately run into the cells and brutally beat everyone," he wrote.

Moreover, the torture chamber had a separate cell for keeping teenagers.

"We are now establishing their ages. People say that some of the boys looked about 14 years old. And the cross that I showed in the video yesterday was made by a 19-year-old boy who was here, in the torture chamber. In other de-occupied regions, we did not document any cells for children or teenagers. Unfortunately, this does not apply here," the post reads.
