Report: Both Sides in Ukraine Committing War Crimes 
----------------------------------------------------


 
Amnesty International has accused both sides of the conflict in Eastern
Ukraine of carrying out war crimes, including torture and summary
killings of prisoners, on a near-daily basis. Former prisoners held by
both the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian rebels described abuses,
including being beaten until their bones broke, tortured with electric
shocks and subjected to mock executions.
