More than 10,000 residents of Mariupol are imprisoned in the prisons of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), the city council of the city destroyed by Russian troops announced on the “Telegram” website.
“The occupiers arrested peaceful residents and sent them to prisons. There is information on four such prisons: two in Olenivka, one in the Donetsk pre-trial detention center and one in Makiivka. People are in terrible and inhumane conditions like in a concentration camp,” said the Mariupol City Council.
Imprisoned people have almost no access to drinking water and food, normal medical care and are subjected to various types of torture – both psychological and physical, the council said in a statement.
Mariupol is experiencing one of the biggest humanitarian disasters caused by Russian aggression. The city is virtually destroyed, but thousands of people are still there.
