Kidnapped and brutally beaten: a veteran of the anti-terrorist operation died in the Kherson region from torture of the occupiers

In the Kherson region, Russian invaders tortured an anti-terrorist operation veteran from the village of Abrykosivka, Nazar Kagalnyak.

This was announced by the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Lyudmila Denisova.

According to her, after participating in the anti-terrorist operation in the East, Nazar Kagalnyak suffered two heart attacks and a complicated heart operation.

The Russian invaders kidnapped the man from his home, severely beat and tortured him for being a former combatant.

– The occupiers brought Nazar, who was tortured, home. His condition deteriorated critically, after which the man was taken to the hospital in Oleshky, where he later died, – said the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada.

The anti-terrorist operation veteran has two minor children left – he has been caring for them without his wife for the last five years.

Lyudmila Denisova appealed to the UN Commission of Inquiry into Human Rights Violations, as this case is a war crime, because according to Article 3 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, persons who do not take an active part in hostilities should not be prosecuted.
