Russia’s ‘torture prisons’ in Ukraine exposed | Global News Podcast
WARNING: This video discusses violence and sexual assault.
A new investigation by the BBC has uncovered details about secret prisons in Russia and Russian-occupied Ukraine, where the torture and ill-treatment of civilians is “systematic and widespread” according to the United Nations. Former detainees have described beatings, mock executions and sexual violence. The allegations date back to 2014, when the Kremlin annexed Crimea and occupied territory in Donetsk and Luhansk.
We speak to reporter Tania Kharchenko. She has interviewed one Ukrainian woman, Liudmyla, who was seized off the street and sent to prison for three years.
The BBC tried to contact the men accused of carrying out abuses as guards at these prisons, but they did not respond. The Russian Embassy in the UK said Russia had “consistently advocated respect for international law and the rule of law” and allegations of crimes during the Ukraine conflict “are documented and investigated”.

Prince Harry is back in the UK, but could his return help heal the rift with his brother, Prince William?
After six years living in the US, Prince Harry, Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet, have returned to life in Britain.
While the royal brothers were once inseparable – Harry and William’s relationship has been strained for more than half a decade, becoming increasingly divided by family tensions and a series of public revelations.
So could Harry’s return mark the beginning of a reconciliation or is the rift between the brothers too deep to repair?
BBC Senior Royal Correspondent Daniela Relph examines the breakdown in Harry and William’s relationship and whether the brothers can ever rebuild their bond.

Iran has said it is confident it can counter widened US sanctions after Washington announced what it described as an “economic D-Day” against the country to try to isolate it from the global economy.
Iranian Economy Minister Ali Madanizadeh said Tehran was “fully prepared” for the sanctions, which he said would lead to “another defeat” for the US.
Announcing a raft of new measures, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said any nation financially partnering with Iran would be isolated, and that banks and businesses dealing with Iran would share its isolation if they refused to cut ties.
The moves follow U-turns and extended deadlines from the White House in its efforts to end the conflict.

The BBC has been given a rare glimpse at how the Taliban is running Afghanistan, five years after it swept aside a US-backed government in the country to return to power.
In that time, women have been excluded from most workplaces, banned from universities and may not travel alone or visit parks and leisure centres.
In encounters spread over two years, the BBC gained unusual access to influential figures in the extreme Islamist movement, spending time with men who once planned suicide attacks or spent years in underground hideouts, but are now officials and soldiers.
