On 6 May, journalist Iryna Levchenko and her husband Oleksandr disappeared in Melitopol. Only two weeks later, it was found out that the Levchenko couple had been detained by the occupation authorities without any explanation. 2/4
Iryna Levchenko worked as a journalist for well-known national periodicals. Both she and her husband are pensioners.

They were reportedly held in inhumane conditions: almost without food, in a cold basement, on a concrete floor. 3/4
They were subjected to physical and mental torture, with absolutely ridiculous and far-fetched charges of terrorism. Iryna was later transferred to another location, but it is unknown where exactly. 4/4
