Russian army officer admits that troops tortured Ukrainian soldiers - BBC News

[TexasTowelie]

Allegations of brutal interrogations, where Ukrainian men were shot and threatened with rape, have been made by a former Russian military officer.

Konstantin Yefremov, the most senior officer to speak openly, told the BBC in an exclusive interview Russia now sees him as a traitor and defector, and he has now fled the country.

At one site in southern Ukraine, he said "the interrogations, the torture, continued for about a week".

1. We have US leaders who like Putin and Russian tactics.

2. We have US citizens who approve of torture

That torture was accepted and justified by the PNC-Bush apologists and anti-Muslim zealots and (apparently) the entire Republican voter base, appalls me still.

3. We still have a prison built specifically for torture! n/t

5. Not defending Russia but I am sure both sides are guilty of that to

some degree. That goes for the US too.
