From the article: A Russian air strike against a prison in southern Zaporizhzhia Oblast late on July 28 killed 16 convicts and injured dozens more, Ukraine’s State Criminal-Executive Service said.
Forty-four people were injured and hospitalized, and more than 50 were provided medical assistance on the spot, the authorities said. The State Criminal-Executive Service previously reported one staff member among the injured victims.
Moscow’s forces struck the Zaporizhzhia district eight times with FAB bombs overnight, destroying prison buildings and damaging nearby houses, Governor Ivan Fedorov said.
The prison facility in Bilenke, a village around 20 kilometers (12 miles) from Zaporizhzhia, was hit by four bombs at around 11:30 p.m. on July 28, according to the State Criminal-Executive Service.
“The perimeter of the institution was not damaged; there is no threat of escape,” the service said.
Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets denounced the attack as a “gross violation of international humanitarian law and yet another proof of Russia’s war crimes.”
“People held in places of detention do not lose their right to life and protection,” Lubinets said on Telegram.
As of spring, Ukrainian prosecutors are investigating over 150,000 suspected war crimes committed by Russia during its all-out war.
Russia has occupied part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast since the onset of its full-scale invasion in 2022, subjecting the rest of its territories to daily aerial and artillery attacks.
These are still people dammit.
I guess Russia is just too used to viewing inmates as cannon fodder, they assume everyone else is as depraved as they are to use them that way.
More war crimes! This is how they treat their prisoners, and it doesn’t make it any less of a damn war crime. Bless them and their families, they didn’t deserve this.
Ukraine should do the same but not kill the inmates, should just hit the front doors and help encourage escapes. The smaller Ukraine drones could hit the front doors of many prisons in Russia.
