British aid worker was ‘tortured to death’, claims human rights group

A British aid worker who died while being held by pro-Russian separatists in the Donetsk region of Ukraine was "tortured to death" said a source within the penitentiary system.

Paul Urey, 45, died in captivity last Sunday, according to the human rights ombudsperson for the Moscow-supported leadership in Donetsk.

He was "tortured to death" said Vladimir Osechkin, founder of anti-torture group gulagu.net, a human rights group which campaigns against abuses in the Russian prison system.
