Hanna ha trascorso un anno in una prigione russa: le hanno fatto cadere sei denti, ma lei definisce la sua esperienza ‘lieve’ rispetto ad altri prigionieri ucraini

Hanna Shchatriuk was detained in March 2022 at her home in the occupied territory (Donetsk region). At first, she was accused of being a sniper, then of espionage and of having ties with the Ukrainian military. Hanna spent over a year imprisoned by the occupiers, though she never received a sentence. After she was released, Hanna and her family spent another year gathering money to flee to the territory controlled by the Ukrainian government.

**What she had to endure in captivity, the conditions she faced:** 

Hanna Shchatriuk, 31, was studying ecology, when in 2014, the Russians seized the city. After leaving Donetsk region, she trained as a nurse. But the family later had to return to the city to help her grandmother. In the occupied town, Hanna worked as a nurse in a kindergarten.

>“They came for me on March 26, 2022. I didn’t understand what was happening at first, but I shut my computer down and sat to have tea. At that moment, my mother came in, accompanied by six armed Russian soldiers. They were masked and immediately started demanding that I “talk.” When I asked what I was supposed to say, they didn’t answer – they just took my computer, power supply, two phones, and fitness bracelet, removed my earrings, and took me to Donetsk.”

They took her to “Izoliatsia,” a torture prison in Donetsk. Then she was transferred to the Donetsk pre-trial detention center, and later she was sent to the penal psychiatric hospital in Zhdanivka. In April 26, 2023 (over a year later).she was released into her mother’s custody. 

>“At first, they accused me of ties with “Azov.” Then they said I was a sniper. It’s absurd – how could they find a “sniper” in Torez, deep in the rear and long occupied?

>Then they said I was a spy. They even brought in “witnesses.” Some random people – I never saw them because I had a bag over my head – but one woman from Moscow region claimed she’d seen me there. I’ve never even been to Moscow or its region.

>In the detention center, I had no lawyer, the investigator never came, but there was a “hearing” – just to extend my stay in custody.”

And in the end, her only crime was being Ukrainian. Fuck the orcs, and fuck every person keeping this abhorrent Russian system in place

GOD will send his glory and/ore judgement to all who deserve it!
