BRUSSELS, November 10. /TASS/. A group of opposition members of the European Parliament, led by Luxembourg's Fernand Kartheiser, wrote a letter to Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the EU Taras Kachka in which they called on Kiev to shut down torture prisons across Ukraine and release all those illegally detained there.

They also called for releasing all people who protested on November 2, including a female medical worker and an ambulance driver detained by Ukrainian security forces.

The letter calls "to immediately close the facility in Petropavlovskaya Borshchagovka, to close all other facilities in Ukraine where abuses of human rights may be taking place, to release all individuals held illegally in such facilities, and to take all necessary steps to guarantee that no other children are being held or mistreated in any government facilities."

"We also ask for the immediate release of the medical professional Valentina Molodaya and Viktor Yen, the driver who accompanied her to the facility. All judicial proceedings against them should be stopped immediatelly," the document states.
