The body of British aid worker Paul Urey reveals what happened during the three months he was detained by Russian forces. Now returned by Russia to Ukraine, the 45-year-old’s body shows “indescribable signs of possible torture…, as advanced this Wednesday Dmytro Kuleba, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
The Russians returned the body of British aid worker Pau Urey, whom they captured in April and reported dead due to ‘illness’ and ‘stress’ in July. With indescribable signs of possible torture. Detaining and torturing civilians is outrageous and a heinous war crime.”
Still in the Twitter post, the Ukrainian foreign minister expressed his “deep condolences” to the family and close people of Paul Urey, whom he remembers as a “brave man who dedicated himself to saving people”. “Ukraine will never forget him and his works. Let’s identify the perpetrators of this crime and hold them accountable. They will not escape justice.”finish off
Pablo Urey was captured along with another British, Dylan Healey, on April 29 of this year. The two self-employed aid workers were passing a checkpoint in a car they were driving to help a woman and two children when they were arrested, The Guardian writes.
The two men were accused of “mercenary activities” by the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic and, in early May, Urey appeared in handcuffs on Russian state television criticizing the British government and British media coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Two months later, the death of the 45-year-old humanitarian worker was announced by Daria Morozova, responsible for the rights of separatists in the Donetsk area.
