More stories of Russian imprisonment and torture of civilians
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61248436
"...In Belarus, they were given an identity document. It says it is issued by the military of the Russian Federation and describes Volodymyr's place of birth as the "Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic". It is how Ukraine was known prior to the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, before it became an independent country. It is a sign of Russia's ambitions in the region.
From Belarus, Volodymyr says, they were taken to a prison in Russia.
"The torture continued. They humiliated us, made us kneel and forced us into uncomfortable positions. If we looked into their eyes, we were beaten. If we did something slowly we were beaten. They treated us like animals," he said.
One evening Volodymyr counted 72 other people in detention with him. But he could hear there were more.
"We tried to support each other. Some days we couldn't believe this was all happening. It felt like we had been transported to the 16th Century from the 21st Century," he said...."
