[Witness spoke in Ukrainian, interpreted as follows:]
First of all, there are constant interrogations. There is a lack of fresh air in the cells. The cells were overflowing. In the Donetsk detention centre, we were 55 or so. There was no air left to breathe. We were basically lying under the door trying to breathe. There was not enough water. We had two loaves of bread and a litre and a half of water for all of us for 24 hours. We slept on the floor. It was very hot. It was intolerable.
When we were taken to Olenivka, it was pretty much the same. We would be given dirty water from time to time. The food was disgusting—fish mixed in some kind of porridge. The dishes were dirty. We mainly ate bread.
There were no hygiene conditions. In order to use the bathroom, we had to use our own clothing. There were a lot of us in the cell. In a six-person cell, we were 55. When women were brought from Azovstal, we were transferred to the second floor. In a one-person cell, we were 28.
We were put to labour. We had to dig gardens. We were painting, cutting grass, etc., basically making repairs to jail number 120 in Olenivka.
