Russians, Ukrainians tortured prisoners of warːUN

GENEVA—The UN human rights office said on Tuesday that both Russia and Ukraine tortured prisoners of war during the nearly nine-month conflict, citing examples including the use of electric shocks and forced nudity. Matilda Bogner, head of the monitoring mission, said the “vast majority” of Ukrainian prisoners they interviewed reported torture and ill-treatment like dog attacks, electric shocks and sexual violence. On the Ukrainian side, Bogner reported “credible allegations” of summary executions of Russian prisoners among other abuses. Other Russian prisoners reported being packed into trucks or vans naked, with their hands tied behind their backs.
