ΟΗΕ: Το 95% των Ο κρνιλτν Ρωυ&pi Εστησαν βασανιστorρια /></p> <p><strong>The majority of Ukrainian prisoners of war, 95%, are being tortured in Russia, the head of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Kyiv, Danielle Bell, said in an interview of the Dutch TV channel NOS.</strong></p> <p>“They beat them with metal rods and globes, they torture them with electric shocks. (…) The worst I have seen in my 20 year career visiting prisoners on behalf of the UN. Torture is widespread and systemic,” Bell said, clarifying that the torture begins with the very first interrogation.</p> <p>Bell said she relied on reports from Ukrainian prisoners she was able to speak with.</p > <p>As of early June, President Vladimir Putin stated that there were nearly 6,500,000 Ukrainian prisoners in Russia and approximately 1,400 Russians in captivity in Ukraine. Putin did not name the source of the information. It is impossible to confirm from independent sources the reliability of the data under conditions of war.</p> <p>The Ukrainian side claims that at the beginning of March there were two thousand Russians in Ukrainian captivity.</p> <p>Kiev also accuses the Moscow to execute Ukrainian soldiers. According to the General Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine, more than 110 Ukrainians have been executed since the beginning of the war – already after their handover.</p> <p>Russia denies all accusations of cruelty towards prisoners of war.</p> <p>The Geneva Conventions oblige warring parties to ensure the regular detention of prisoners, prohibit ill-treatment and oblige international humanitarian organizations to provide contact with relatives and the possibility to address international humanitarian organizations.</p> <p>source: alphanews</p> <p><noindex></p> <div class=Source: 24h.com.cy
