American convicted in Russia for participation in TRO complains of torture – media

A former cellmate of the American said that he, like other prisoners, was constantly beaten with sticks, rods and feet, starved to death and led to dogs.

American Stephen Hubbard, who was sentenced by the Moscow City Court to 6 years and 10 months in a general regime colony for participation in the Teroboron Armed Forces of Ukraine, complained of harsh treatment in Russian prisons. This was reported by AFP on Thursday, October 17, in connection with one of Hubbard’s former cellmates – a Ukrainian prisoner of war who was released in May 2024 in an exchange.

“They continued to beat him, like any of us, beat him with sticks, batons and feet,” the agency source said. Also, according to a former cellmate, guards set dogs on 72-year-old Hubbard, starved him and forced him to “crawl along the corridor.”

The former prisoner of war said he met Hubbard at a pre-trial detention center in the Bryansk region, where they were held from September 2022 to May 2023 and placed in adjacent cells. Until the spring of 2024 they will be in a colony in the Vladimir region.

Hubbard repeatedly requested contact with his family, American or Ukrainian authorities.

According to investigators, in February 2022, Hubbard, who was 70 years old at the time, entered into a contract with the territorial defense unit in the city of Izyum, Kharkov region, underwent training and received weapons. Two months after starting his service, he was captured.

According to media reports, he has lived in Ukraine since 2014.

It was previously reported that the occupiers tortured a resident of Kakhovka to death.
