...Human Rights Human Rights Monitoring Mission (HRMMU)
...the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU)

...Abductions:
Government forces, Russia-led forces, and criminal elements engaged in abductions.
The HRMMU reported a pattern of arbitrary and incommunicado detention by government law enforcement bodies (mainly by the SBU) and by military and paramilitary units,
primarily by the former volunteer battalions now formally incorporated into the security services.

In its reports the HRMMU repeatedly expressed concern regarding reports of enforced disappearances and “unacknowledged detention” practiced by the SBU.
For example, in May a woman in Mariupol was lured to an Azov battalion position, blindfolded, and transported to an unknown destination.
...They then brought the woman to court, where an SBU officer punched her twice in the stomach in the corridor.
The military prosecutor’s office opened an investigation into the case.
