Oleksandr Hurov, a 36-year-old coal miner from Novohradovka in eastern Ukraine, says he was kidnapped and tortured by pro-Russian rebels after he took down a separatist flag from the main government building in his hometown. Speaking to RFE/RL at a hospital in Kyiv, Hurov said his captors tried to scrape off a patriotic tattoo on his arm – a Ukrainian flag adorned with the words 'Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the heroes' – using the jagged edges of a smashed light bulb.
