The report details allegations from Ukrainian prisoners of war that Ilya Sorokin, previously affiliated with Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service and later a military medical instructor known as “Doctor,” tortured detainees at Penal Colony No. 10; it references his public employment history, union recognition, and a confirmation that his civilian position remains reserved, as well as his brief denial during a phone call and the absence of official comment, while highlighting how former prisoners coped through mutual support and subdued carol singing during captivity.
