"Since 24 February 2022, OHCHR has documented a significant increase in violations of the right to liberty and security of person by Ukrainian security forces.91 Out of the overall number of such cases, OHCHR documented 75 cases 92 of arbitrary detention of civilians (17 women, 57 men and 1 boy), some of which also amounted to enforced disappearances, mostly perpetrated by law enforcement authorities or the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the report read.
According to the report, dozens of civilians were tortured "in official pre-trial detention facilities"
"Of further concern, OHCHR has documented the arrests of several civilians involved in distribution of humanitarian aid in territory 'occupied' by the Russian Federation," the report read.
Of the conflict-related detainees interviewed, 43 (34 men and 9 women) provided credible accounts of torture and ill-treatment committed by law enforcement officers, military personnel or guards in unofficial places of detention or, to a much lesser extent, in formal detention facilities, the report says.
