The occupiers deported all men from the Huglino, Myrnyy and Volonterivka districts about four weeks ago. About 2,000 detainees were placed in filtration camps in the villages of Bezimenne and Kozatske.
The adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andryushchenko, posted this on Telegram.
According to him, people were detained for filtration purposes. The men were not allowed to take their personal belongings, and their documents were confiscated.
The detainees were placed in the school and club premises. In the video published by Petro Andryushchenko, the school in the village of Bezimenne was shown.
"It is the fourth week that the men are forcibly detained without being allowed to leave the school without a russian military convoy. The conditions are terrible, and people are forced to sleep on the floor in the corridors. Medical care is not provided," the mayor's adviser said.
The first case of tuberculosis was recorded among people staying in the school in the village of Bezimenne. As a result, the school gym was turned into an isolation ward, where many people were locked up without medical care.
"The first death of a man was observed due to the occupiers' refusal to call an ambulance in the village of Kozatske," Andryushchenko said.
If any detainees go missing, the occupiers promise to intensify torture and shoot other detainees.
Men eat three times a day some "balanda" [soup for prisoners with low nutritional value – tr.], and there is only one hygiene point, which is one sink with cold water, serving thousands of people in the place of detention. No hygiene measures exacerbate the morbidity incidence among detainees.
Documents are not returned to people. Instead, everyone received a paper about filtration, which did not entitle them to leave the camp. There were some attempts to leave, but the men were detained and beaten. The last unsuccessful attempt was to break into the UN and Red Cross evacuation buses, which the detainees saw from the windows.
All men, including the sick and people with disabilities, are involved in landscaping work in Bezymenne village and Novoazovsk city under the convoy of the russian military.
The occupiers have not yet decided on whether they use people as a labor force to dismantle the debris of Mariupol or mobilize them to the army of the occupiers. At the same time, on 2 May, the detainees were told that the men would take part in a parade on 9 May in Mariupol as "prisoners." They will be dressed in the uniform of Ukrainian soldiers for this purpose.
We reported earlier about the location and conditions of detention of 300 inhabitants of Mariupol who were deported to russia to the city of Vladivostok. There, 300 Mariupol residents were resettled in the village of Wrangel in a building that looks like a dormitory. People did not receive any money or clothes, and their documents were confiscated. They are being fed three times, but the quality of food is poor. They have no opportunity to get in touch with relatives.
