Anzhela Slobodian, a journalist for the Ukraine TV and Radio Broadcasting Company, was held in a detention center in occupied Kherson for a month. Starting from the first day of the full-scale war and until her arrest in July, Anzhela had continued to provide news coverage and broadcast live from Kherson. She had to film secretly with her smartphone, and broadcast from various apartments… Despite all precautions, she could not slip under the radar: they came for her one day. 

She will spend the next 30 days in a detention cell where the light does not go off for 24 hours, and screams of the tortured penetrate the walls… She received food only once a day, and had to share a bed with another detainee… But the most terrible thing was absolute uncertainty: Anzhela did not know whether she would be able to survive that captivity…
