Police map out 159 Russian torture hubs and identify 1,000 perpetrators

Original version ·

Ukrainian investigators just put together the full blueprint of Russia's systemic torture network, tracking victim routes from local basements all the way to penitentiaries in Perm Krai.

Police investigators have identified 159 illegal detention facilities across occupied territories and inside Russia, revealing a giant machine built for systematic abuse. Over 1,000 individuals involved in illegal detention and torture have already been identified, with formal charges issued against 120 of them — including a prison warden in Perm Krai whose facility caused the deaths of Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna and mayor Yevhen Matveyev.

Instead of treating these as isolated crimes, investigators reconstructed the exact chain of command from the guards holding the keys to the officials signing the transfer orders.

A state that turns human suffering into standard operating procedure usually forgets that paper trails work both ways.
