Russian labor camp IK-17 may be nicknamed a “fashion colony” for its brightly painted exteriors and occasional staged volleyball games to impress visitors from the media.
But inmates tellthat the façade couldn’t be any further from the camp’s reality. “It’s all a lie,” said American prisoner Jimmy Wilgus. There are no showers in IK-17—a likely destination for detainedif he is convicted on charges of espionage—and inmates can only visit a bathhouse once a week, said a human rights monitor. Prisoners say there are no doctors—only nurses, and the prison doesn’t give medicine to inmates, even if they’ve paid for it. There are apparently no dentists, either.
“Any dental problems are solved by extractions only,” said David Whelan, brother to American inmate Paul Whelan. Additionally, prisoners can reportedly be disciplined for a slew of minor offenses, such as failing to address guards, or laying down on their beds during the daytime. Solitary confinement is a regular punishment, prisoners said. Last year, inmates said they were offered a chance to leave if they fought for the Russian military against Ukraine.

Rescuers are braving snipers and racing time to ferry Ukrainians out of Russian-occupied flood zonesMassive flooding from the destruction of a huge dam has devastated towns along the lower Dnieper River in Ukraine and forced many civilians to flee to rooftops, attics and higher ground. Ukrainian rescuers have been carrying out risky missions to evacuate civilians in small boats from the areas occupied by Russian forces on the river's west bank. The rescuers have come under fire from Russian snipers and drones. Now the window for escape is closing. As floodwaters decrease, rescuers are increasingly cut off by mud. And more Russian soldiers are returning and reasserting control. Accounts of Russian assistance vary, but many survivors accuse Russian authorities of doing little or nothing to help displaced residents.
