“Victoria Roshchyna, who cooperated with many editions, including Radio Liberty, died in Russian detention center # 3 in Kizel city”, – WRITE: www.radiosvoboda.org
It happened on September 19, 2024. Journalists received a death certificate, which was issued in Perma. Investigators found that the journalist had been illegally detained in the prisons of the Russian Federation for more than a year. She was transported to Kizel 8 days before his death.
Ukrainian investigators are still establishing the causes of Roshchina’s death.
On April 29, the International Project Viktoriia Project published an investigation into the death of Victoria Roshchina, which cooperated with many publications, including Radio Liberty. According to him, the body, which, according to the examination, belongs to Roshina, has numerous traces of torture and traces of autopsy.
The investigative group, which conducted the investigation, confirmed the Victoria project that the body was brought to Ukraine with signs of autopsy, which was made in Russia. Also, the interlocutors in the agencies said that some internal organs were absent – it is the brain, eyeballs, as well as part of the trachea. The international pathological expert, with whom journalists communicated, believes that the absence of these bodies may indicate that the Russians tried to hide that death came as a result of suffocation.
In October 2024, it became known that Ukrainian journalist Victoria Roshchyna, who disappeared during a trip to the occupied territories and kept in Russia, died in Russian captivity.
