- Russia has been torturing workers at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, former employees say.Russian intelligence agents have detained and in some cases brutally tortured more than 200 workers at Europe's largest nuclear plant in occupied Ukraine, holding some for weeks in a web of underground prisons, escaped employees told The Wall Street Journal.Speaking to the Journal, he recounted how he himself was detained in one of the Russian occupier's basement prisons before being released under international pressure in October.According to Murashov, he was detained by Russia's FSB, the successor to the Soviet Union's KGB, in a facility near the nuclear plant known as "the Hole," one of several purported underground detention centers.In September, following a visit by a 14-member delegation, the IAEA issued a report saying that the plant's remaining 907 workers — down from more than 1,200 prior to the war — were being forced to operate "under extremely stressful conditions while under the control of Russian armed forces," a situation it described as "untenable.""
