Ukraine's recapture of the city of Izyum has brought multiple allegations of atrocities under Russian occupation. Among the accounts emerging is that of a group of Sri Lankans held captive for months. Here, they tell their story.
"We thought we would never get out alive," says Dilujan Paththinajakan.
Dilujan was one of seven Sri Lankans captured by Russian forces in May. The group had just set out on a huge walk to safety from their homes in Kupiansk, north-eastern Ukraine, to the relative safety of Kharkiv, some 120km (75 miles) away.
But at the first checkpoint they came across, they were captured by Russian soldiers. The Sri Lankans were blindfolded, their hands tied, and taken to a machine tool factory in the town of Vovchansk, near the Russian border.
It was the start of a four-month nightmare which would see them kept prisoner, used as forced labour, and even tortured.

this kind of Soros-Clinton-WEF propaganda absolutely depends on total ignorance of what is going on in Sri Lanka
which is also a war zone now... just not a fashionable one that serves the interests of the German regime and its alliance of international fascists
Terrible. The torture described included having ones’ toenails pulled off with pliers, and for no apparent reason except that the guards could do this and not get in trouble for it.
What could be the mindset of such a prison guard? What, other than a sadistic pleasure in having power over another individual. The brain usually needs to be conditioned before such action becomes an acceptable choice.
Basketball bouncer Brittany should be thankful for her minor celebrity status in America. That likely saves her from such treatment at this stage of her imprisonment.

A heart do instead by evil, possibly even possessed by the evil one himself, but I’m more inclined to thi k their hearts were just given over to their own evil natures.
—”The brain usually needs to be conditioned before such action becomes an acceptable choice.”
This is a conditioned response accepted and well known in Russian services.
Probably starts in the schools?
Russian fraternity hazing must be “interesting”?
Russian army hazing:
Dedovshchina (Russian: дедовщина, IPA: [dʲɪdɐˈfɕːinə]; lit. reign of grandfathers) is the informal practice of hazing and abuse of junior conscripts historically in the Soviet Armed Forces and today in the Russian armed forces, Internal Troops, and to a much lesser extent FSB, Border Guards, as well as the military forces of certain former Soviet Republics. It consists of brutalization by more senior conscripts, NCOs, and officers.
Dedovshchina encompasses a variety of subordinating and humiliating activities undertaken by the junior ranks, from doing the chores of the senior ranks, to violent and sometimes deadly physical and psychological abuse, not unlike an extremely vicious form of bullying or torture, including sexual torture and anal rape.[1] When not leaving the army seriously injured, conscripts can suffer serious mental trauma for their lifetime.[citation needed] It is often cited by former military personnel as a major source of poor morale.

This was made in 1979 in communist Poland but gives you an idea of how things were behind the Iron curtain and indeed in Putin's Russia today
Namely - petty men were brutalized by the system until they have no hope, no goals, no nothing. They then take glory in the little "power" they have
We can see it in the USA in the DMV or the TSA - petty people with desperate lives with no hope, no goals, nothing, but they have a little "power" and they use it in sadistic ways
But in the case of Putin's Russia or the USSR, these "petty tyrants" get more abilities to be horrific.
What is your point? These Sri Lankans are the lucky ones? Good thing they could avoid the turmoil in their country by sitting around in Russian custody?
That is itself torture— of perspective.
Russians are damned barbarians. I have heard the soldiers are their dregs, but Russia permits and encourages this. Until the Russians behavior improves, Russia should be banned from displaying its flag, banned from the Olympics, etc.
my point is that if pretending to care about Sri Lankans wasn’t complete and total phony left-wing virtue signaling bullshit
then we’d see articles about the atrocities that have been going down in Sri Lanka
and not have the ONLY mention of the country be in conjunction with an agenda
seriously have you any idea what has happened in Sri Lanka
Yes I know about Sri Lanka. They ran out of food due to commie/green idiocy.
That does not mean that this story is not newsworthy by comparison. But I’ll grant you that, while Ukraine has been happening, a whole bunch of awful stuff has gone on elsewhere that gets ignored (Nigeria, Nicaragua, etc). We have eurocentric news.
both Ukraine and Sri Lanka have been destroyed by the very same set of DC-and-Berlin based globalist assholes
to use Sri Lankans as a prop to support the wrecking of yet another country by the same people who destroyed Sri Lanka is depraved beyond belief
