"Such prisons used to be located in basements or gyms, however, now they are being disguised as fenced-off residential houses, as they draw less public attention," Rogov said. Some secret prisons are housed in plant workshops and basements of administrative buildings, he added. Torture sites have existed in Ukraine since 2014, a fact that Russian authorities have repeatedly pointed out. The issue gained significant attention among the Ukrainian public on November 2, when a crowd gathered outside a house near Kiev, where people were being tortured in the basement. A manhunt was launched to arrest the protesters.
