An incident happened in Lukyanivska prison between law enforcement officers and former police battalion Tornado, accused of crimes committed in the area of anti-terrorist operation (ATO), who are now detained in prison. One of the participants in the incident attempted to cut off a part of his ear. This was reported by the journalist Kostiantyn Stogniy on his Facebook page.
People's Deputy Igor Mosiychuk also said about a cut off ear. "All cells are in blood," according to him.
Former Tornado battalion officers under investigation, planned to protest against allegedly partial courts and investigation. "Their appeals were ignored. They raised riot and tried to attack one guard. The penitentiary service representative assured that the attack failed. Then one of the former Tornado battalion officers decided to cut off a part of his ear. Our sources report that the situation has now calmed down. The ear is being treated" Stogniy wrote.
