Stas Hlushko, 37, a civilian prisoner released on July 4 from the camp - Correctional Colony No. 120 - said the blast site was far from the barracks where hundreds of prisoners are being held."As prison guards explained to us, it's important for the prisoner to be humiliated at once," he said."The torture of us civilians was not so bad as for soldiers."
"One emergency service guy was put in our cell and for a day couldn't move," he said."He was tortured with electricity." The Russians operate at least 18"filtration centres" in eastern Ukraine and western Russia, according to a recently declassified US intelligence assessment. Incidents of torture and inhumane living conditions at Correctional Colony No. 120 were described by several former prisoners and by family members of people still being held.
