Liudmyla Huseinova is a 64-year-old woman. In October 2019, she was taken from her home by men. They forced her into a car and stole her bag. Liudmyla describes this time as a nightmare. The men were part of Russian-backed groups. Yurii Temerbek, a former traffic policeman at 56, was one of them. She says he watched other men abuse her. Many survivors tell stories of torture, including beatings and sexual violence. The situation in these prisons is terrible. Survivors want to share names of the men to seek justice. They think it is important for everyone to know. Ukrainian officials say many people have been taken or disappeared during the conflicts, with over 16,000 cases reported. They want to hold these men accountable for their actions. Some survivors want justice for their pain and suffering.
