Quote: "Today, within this project, we officially record that, according to our data, the Russian Federation uses 695 various forms of torture, including physical and psychological abuse, as well as sexual violence. Prisoners of war are strangled, beaten, subjected to electric shocks, set upon by dogs and sometimes forced to stand in one place for up to 18 hours; as soon as you start to squat, you are immediately physically beaten.

One of the types of torture is the so-called 'hairdresser', when during shaving they deliberately cut off not only hair but also pieces of skin from the scalp. If a person starts screaming, they are immediately beaten again and subjected to electric shocks."
