Ukrainian Ombudsman finds unsanitary TCC detention center in Uzhhorod

During an inspection of the Uzhhorod district enlistment office, cases of unsanitary conditions, unlawful detention, and neglect of illnesses were uncovered, Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets reported. People were held without legal grounds for 21 to 50 days. Some had their documents and phones confiscated, limiting access to assistance. For 40-60 people held there, there were only a few cups and plates, forcing them to eat in turns from shared dishes. Inspectors also documented one shower and one toilet for dozens of people, as well as a lack of bedding. In addition, a man with high blood pressure was found who had been requesting medical help for several days. An ambulance was called only after the ombudsman's representative intervened. A complaint regarding the violations has already been filed.
