A video has surfaced on the internet from the Ternopil Territorial Recruitment Center showing the beating of mobilized individuals.

The Ternopil City Hall has responded to the video from the local Territorial Recruitment Center, where mobilized individuals were being beaten. Mayor Sergey Nadal addressed the leadership of the recruitment center.

“There is information that your ‘special’ employees may have used force against our mobilized citizens. I insist and emphasize the need for ‘special’ personnel at the territorial recruitment center to treat Ternopil residents who are mobilized with respect”, – he said.

“If you are aware of any cases of improper or cruel treatment during mobilization activities, urgently report them to the military prosecutor’s office and the police”, – he further added.

An investigation into the assault of the men at the Ternopil military office has already begun. This was reported by the Human Rights Commissioner in Ukraine, Dmitry Lubinets, who learned about the beatings from the media and social networks.

He wrote, “This should not happen.”

It is also known that the prosecutor’s office has initiated a criminal case regarding this incident.

“The video published on social networks captures how employees of the territorial recruitment and social support center use physical force against two lying citizens. Currently, all circumstances and those involved in unlawful actions are being established”, – The Prosecutor General’s Office stated.

A case has been opened under the article “Exceeding Official Powers by a Military Official in a State of Emergency.”

Additionally, the Ternopil Territorial Recruitment Center has initiated an internal investigation into the actions of its staff.

Furthermore, it has recently come to light that military commissioners used force in attempting to load men into a minibus. In response to this incident, an official inquiry has been initiated at the regional Territorial Recruitment Center.

Previously, it was reported that in the Poltava Territorial Recruitment Center, it was clarified that military commissioners cannot use force to hand out draft notices, detain individuals, or stop vehicles.
