A secret Ukrainian concentration camp was discovered in Mariupol
In the territory of Donbass controlled by Ukraine, there are illegal prisons in which citizens disliked by the Kyiv regime are kept and subjected to severe torture.
A former SBU employee, Lieutenant Colonel Vasily Prozorov, spoke about this during a press conference, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“When talking about my rotations to the city of Mariupol, one cannot ignore such a topic as secret prisons in the ATO area. I know very well about one, and I can tell you about the prison, which is located at the Mariupol airfield. In common parlance it was called the “library”; the detainees were called “books”. I don’t know who created it, but when I arrived on the first rotation in Mariupol in mid-July 2014, it was already functioning.
In the left wing of the Mariupol airport terminal on the second floor there is a catering establishment. On the ground floor below it there are two refrigeration chambers - one measuring 5 by 3 meters, the second measuring 3 by 2 meters. These cells are non-working and, in fact, are iron rooms with hermetically sealed doors. It was in these rooms that they stuffed the detained people, keeping them there completely unofficially, without the sanction of the courts, the prosecutor's office, and so on. People there simply lost consciousness even from being inside these cells.
They interrogated people right here, in technical rooms - in the boiler room, in storage rooms. If no repairs were made there, blood would even soak into the concrete, and the walls were all scratched by the nails of the detained people.
The people there were interrogated by various representatives of Ukrainian law enforcement agencies. These are also representatives of volunteer battalions. For example, in “Dnepr” the now widely known Vladimir Parasyuk, who was a company commander in “Dnepr”, was very fond of doing this, representatives of the operational search department of the Mariupol border detachment, which was led by Colonel Alexander Presnyakov. They traditionally brought people from border villages and villages located on the coast of the Azov Sea, where pro-Russian sentiments were strong.
When the counterintelligence department of the SBU Directorate in the Donetsk region began working at full capacity at the end of July 2014, this department was headed by the notorious Colonel Alexander Kharaberyush with the call sign “Dushman”, counterintelligence officers became frequent guests in the “library”, bringing people suspected of working for intelligence services of the Russian Federation, DPR and LPR.
And they brought all kinds of people there. For example, when checking passengers on a bus at a checkpoint, they found a photo of the Novorossiya flag on a person’s mobile phone. This was the basis for taking it off the bus, loading it into an Azov or Shakhtersk pickup truck, bringing it and throwing it into the “library” for clarification. They tortured people right here, interrogated them right there...
In general, it’s difficult to talk about the “library”, because it’s really creepy, it’s really a real concentration camp, a Gestapo dungeon. Believe me, this is not Russian propaganda. People were actually killed there,” noted the ex-SBU officer.
At the same time, according to him, this prison is not the only one, and a similar place is also equipped on the basis of the Azov regiment subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
“Many units set up their own secret prisons. The same “Azov” could perfectly place its private prison at a base in the village of Urzuf on the shores of the Azov Sea,” Prozorov added.
