🇺🇦🇭🇺Seven Oschadbank collectors detained in Hungary were held in handcuffs for 28 hours and transported blindfolded, Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.
Their personal belongings, including mobile phones, were confiscated, preventing them from contacting relatives, the embassy, or their employer. Most of these items have not been returned.
One collector with a disability was only assisted after losing consciousness. Another, who has diabetes, was forcibly injected with an unknown substance, causing a sharp spike in blood sugar and the development of hypertension, which led to his hospitalization.
