The premises of the former Izolyatsia (Ukrainian: Ізоляція, romanized: Izoliatsiia, lit. 'isolation', Russian: Изоляция) factory and art centre are used as a torture prison in Donetsk, Ukraine, created after the city's capture in 2014 by Russian armed forces.[1][2] The prison was established after representatives of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) seized the site of the Izolyatsia Arts Foundation and converted it into a closed site of the State Security Ministry of the DPR.[3][4] Izolyatsia functions as a training facility for DPR fighters as well as a depot for automobiles, military technology and weapons.[5][6] The prison has secret status[7] as detainees are convicted by illegal DPR courts without proper investigation.[8][9] There are numerous known cases where Izolyatsia inmates only gave confession after being tortured.[10][11][12]
