An international investigation has revealed that the body of Ukrainian journalist Viktoria Roshchyna, who died in Russian captivity, was returned to Ukraine missing several internal organs, potentially to conceal the cause of death.
According to a joint investigation by Forbidden Stories and 13 international media outlets, Roshchyna’s body was transferred to Ukraine on February 14, 2025, as part of a repatriation operation involving the return of 757 fallen Ukrainians. Russian documents marked the body, listed as number 757, as an “unidentified male” with a reference note: “СПАС.”

People are disgusting.
"Investigators discovered that several organs were missing, including the brain, both eyeballs, and part of the trachea. According to an international forensic expert consulted by journalists, the absence of these organs could have been intended to obscure evidence of death by strangulation or suffocation.

A bruise on Roshchyna’s neck indicated a potential fracture of the hyoid bone—a rare injury commonly associated with manual strangulation."
This is crazy, it should create a ripple effect of protests in Russia I hope. Its time to destabilize Russia. Much condoleances and may she rest in peace.
So the cause of death is either organ harvesting for medical use, or torture.
UPDATE: It seems to be torture.
Or both…
the Russians are known for poisoning people I would bet on that personally

Makes my hair stand up with hate and disgust jesus christ
Things to do to Putin when he’s caught:
- Remove internal organs.
- Poke one eye out and fill the hole with siracha sauce jalapeno pickle vinegar, and lemon…
That will burn the dick that fucks the socket.
That’s gonna be a long wait until everyone’s done with that. But OK. Just let me know when the socket is ready for jalapeño juice.
Should you be switching the order there?
Jalapeño first.
That’ll happen when a huge army to arrest them with is formed. But even then they’ll have to fight through their forces to get to them
While he’s alive.
And we can connect a taser to his balls in case he wants to leave Earl so we can bring him Right back.
He won’t know if he’s coming our going lol.
From another source:
The investigation revealed that upon examination in Ukraine, it was discovered that several internal organs were missing, including the brain, eyeballs, and part of the larynx.
According to the investigative team, the body showed signs of an autopsy conducted in Russia. An international expert suggested that the missing organs could have been removed to obscure evidence of death by strangulation or suffocation.
Sounds like they mutilated the body to cover up how she died.
I thought they removed her organs, so that they can use them for transplant surgeries, since organs are expensive afaik. But seems thats not the case here since brain, eyes, larynx cannot be transplanted
Someone brough up a theory that it’s a “symbolic punishment” for a journalist:
remove the eyes so you cannot see
remove the brain so you cannot think
remove the larynx so you cannot speak (the larynx contains the vocal cords)That makes much more sense because unless some classified shit was tested on her (in which case they probably wouldn’t have returned her body at all) there wouldn’t be any reason to hide the cause of her death. If she was hanged on a short rope or strangled which the (lack of) evidence points towards then that’s kinda not worse than a journalist being murdered any other way. Wouldn’t justify all the fuss at least.
Common move from the isrealis where they take Palestinian posts to sell, but we want extra outrage when the Russians do it and we assume poisoning.
Be nice if we at least pretended to have some moral baseline between the two countries.

I’m not sure what it says about them that they have this capacity to surprise me every time I heard what next depravity they did.

And this isn’t even the first time they’ve done this.

Damn, she’s so beautiful too.
Those ruskies will pay for this.
what the fuck dude.
in what universe is that an acceptable comment?
I’d bang her if she wasn’t dead.
👆 that’s what you just implied.
Jesus fuckin Christ man. people have more intrinsic value than the way they look. stop gooning and grow the fuck up.
Cannot wait for the strongly worded letter and the big story about Putin promenading himself in an ICC country next year.
Right? Laws and Rules of Engagement only have teeth when those whose role it is to enforce them actually fucking do so. We are failing so much on an international level and the future is looking pretty fucking bleak because of widespread cowardice to take action.
I can’t wait for the Lemmy admins to go on another rant about Ukrainian Nazis or some shit.
She worked as a freelance journalist for Ukrainska Pravda, Radio Free Europe, and Hromadske.
According to wiki.
cool new hack for getting into hard-to-get-into-universities: major in journalism.

Probably everyone watching from .world
This sort of shit needs to fuck off. The whole ml Vs world or whatever is so dumb. We are on this tiny social network that feels like the internet of old. Where we meet people online not just the once but likely often as we traverse the fediverse. But this shit, this hatred, does not belong here.
[…] that feels like the internet of old.
But this shit, this hatred, does not belong here.
Buddy I got some bad news for you about the internet of old, flame wars are some of the first things we ever got up to on the internet.
To be clear, I agree with you, fuck that noise - but I don’t think this is a hill you want to get too comfortable on. It’s best to just ignore them, or block them if you feel strongly about it. People have been and will continue to call each other stupid assholes on forums from the beginning until the end of the internet era.
Wait. OOTL is my instance fascist?
No, but .ml does have a bunch of tankies who defend Russia or try to distract and muddy the water every time Russia does something abhorrent.
Well there are a lot of these shits going around the fediverse all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that tankies aren’t sane.
According to .ml, anyone even slightly right of outright communism should be considered fascist. .ml is one of the more extreme hard left instances, so comments from the instance should be taken with that in mind. It is very heavily censored, so their users only ever see the “China and Russia did nothing wrong” type of rhetoric.
.world has issues, for sure. It’s the largest instance, and that comes with its own issues. But it’s definitely not fascist.
Its the most popular instance, and at the same time they allow less than acceptable people
So, while not only having fascists, if they weren’t the biggest instance (which is just another sign of them just being completely against the philosophy of Lemmy and Decentralisation in general, since every normal instance would have just closed their sign-ups by now) they would be long gone
Does that hurt the journalist?
