Pro-Ukrainian teenagers in occupied Zaporizhzhia region sent to psychiatric hospitals

There are already 48 known cases of forced treatment, but the whereabouts and fate of the teenagers remain unknown. According to Viktor Dudukalov, head of the Berdyansk District Council, Russian forces have sufficient facilities for such actions, with boarding schools in Berdyansk, Preslav, and Kalynivka in the Berdyansk district.

Forced treatment is being applied to teenagers, especially for social media comments expressing a pro-Ukrainian stance. Meanwhile, adults under occupation face the threat of lengthy prison sentences.
