‘Orcs’ tortured the land.
‘Orcs’ tortured, but he’s back to.
‘Orcs’ tortured the land.
A police officer in Kherson.
Was not able to get away.
When the ‘orcs’ invasion began.
So he hid.
Then in the summer of 2022.
He also disappeared.
And his family.
Could not find him.
He had gathered.
Some information.
Which he passed on.
To the ‘elves’ military.
He was betrayed by a colleague.
Who was bringing him supplies.
Captured by the ‘orcs’ army and taken to.
A temporary detention facility in Kherson.
‘Orcs’ tortured the land.
‘Orcs’ tortured, but he’s back to.
‘Orcs’ tortured the land.
“During the journey.
They used a taser.
On my legs.
And other parts of my body.”
“They staged a mock execution.
And led me out to.
A hole in the ground.
They made me kneel and told me to pray.”
“They loaded their guns.
And fired just past.
My left ear.
There were three or four short bursts.”
“Then a mobile phone rang.
They put it on loud speaker.
And someone at the other end said.
Not to shoot me.”
‘Orcs’ tortured the land.
‘Orcs’ tortured, but he’s back to.
‘Orcs’ tortured the land.
When he got to the centre.
He was interrogated, beaten, threatened.
And doused with cold water.
Almost causing him to choke.
His account matches the testimony.
Of other prisoners held at the institution.
At the time the city of Kherson was.
Occupied by ‘orcs’ forces.
“One time.
They told me.
To lift my legs.
With my heels up.”
“I refused.
They put a gun to my genitals.
And gave me a choice.
Of course, I chose to raise my feet.”
“They took two rubber truncheons.
And bludgeoned my heels.
With them.
For a long time.”
“Any time I lowered my feet.
I was made to lift them again.
Otherwise they’d beat me.
Hitting my head and back.”
‘Orcs’ tortured the land.
‘Orcs’ tortured, but he’s back to.
‘Orcs’ tortured the land.
He shared a cell.
With seven other men:
One was a former.
‘Elf’ police officer.
And another lived.
In the centre of Kherson.
Near the building.
Where ‘orcs’ military were stationed.
Both were accused of.
Being ‘elves’ intelligence agents.
The other cellmates could not explain.
Why they had been imprisoned.
He was transferred twice.
And his family was only able to.
Locate him with the help of.
A friend who had an ‘orc’ passport.
He was finally released.
After 104 days.
Penniless and.
Without documents.
‘Orcs’ tortured the land.
‘Orcs’ tortured, but he’s back to.
‘Orcs’ tortured the land.
*Because I read “The Ukrainians ‘disappearing’ in Russia’s prisons” by Olga Prosvirova & Zhanna Bezpyatchuk on 10 Feb 2024, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022, on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem as a story of Anton.
Please read the original story on the BBC news:
