Three unmarked mass graves found
near Donetsk, OSCE reports
An inscription against one of the names indicates
that one of the buried had died on August 27, 2014
VIENNA, September 24 /ITAR-TASS/. Representatives of the
Donetsk People’s Republic have found three mass graves near Donetsk in eastern
Ukraine, the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission /SMM/ to Ukraine said in its daily
report on September 23 published on the organization’s website.
“The ‘military police’ of ‘Donetsk People’s Republic’
(‘DPR’) told the SMM that three unmarked graves allegedly containing multiple
bodies had been found; two of them were located in a coal mine Komunar near the
village Nyzhnia Krynka (35km north-east of Donetsk) and one inside the
village,” the OSCE said in its report.
“The SMM proceeded to the scene and saw in the coal mine
two areas located fifty meters apart, each containing two human bodies. All the
four corpses were in the process of decomposition. The SMM also saw eight 9mm
Makarov pistol cartridges approximately five meters away from the bodies. Near
the road on the edge of the village, the SMM observed a pile of earth
resembling a grave which had a stick with a plaque, written in Russian and
containing the names (or in one case - initials) of five individuals, the OSCE
said, adding the SMM had not seen any forensic experts neither in the coal mine
nor in the village.
An inscription against one of the names indicates that
the person had died on August 27, 2014.
“Also in Nyzhnia Krynka, the SMM observed a destroyed
bridge over the water reservoir, connecting the locality with Donetsk.
According to local residents, the bridge was blown up by Ukrainian soldiers
leaving the area around 18 September,” the OSCE monitors wrote in their report.

MASS GRAVES NEAR DONETSK: BEHEADINGS, TORTURE AND
MISSING ORGANS
The first examination results are in from the mass graves near Nizhnaja Krinka, close to Donetsk, where Ukrainian troops held positions for months. It was discovered, that people were tortured before death. The corpses showed signs of extraction of internal organs.
Such information, with reference to the authorities of Donetsk Republic, was reported by LifeNews. Prime minister of DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko: "I personally saw two such mass graves. The chest was cut open, and abdomen torn. Looked, like a result of surgery, or injury. But we have information that the natzgvardia took prisoners and even their own wounded apart into organs.
Medical examination is complicated by decomposition of the bodies. The bodies were only slightly covered by gravel. Presumably, the death of the unfortunate people occured about a month ago. High temperature and time have done their job.
Members of OSCE mission arrived at the burials today. They recorded the damage to the bodies. Several bodies were retreaved without heads and legs. A number of bodies had hands tied behind their back. Those who didn't have their heads chopped off, had bullet holes in the back of the skull.
Ukrainian media in their usual manner accused the militia for the murders. But none of the major Ukrainian media outlets mentioned, that Ukrainian army held that territory for months. Instead, they disseminated a picture of a plate bearing the inscription "Died for Putin's lies" as "evidence" linking the militia to the executions in Donbass.
