In these very minutes—15:30 on 1 August 2011—a mass conflict involving convicts is taking place in the Slavyanoserbsk Colony IK-60 (Luhansk region).

The editorial staff of the ‘Prison Portal’ received a message that as of 15:30 on 1 August 2011, force is being used against convicts in the Slavyanoserbsk IK-60 (Luhansk region), and some have been severely beaten. This information requires verification and confirmation; however, there is information that three convicts were seriously injured, possibly with the surnames Dotsenkov and Boyko. There are assumptions that armed formations are located near the colony. The convicts are afraid of unjustified and mass use of force.
Official representatives of the department confirmed the presence of a conflict in the colony between different groups of convicts involving the use of force and attempts by the administration to settle it. The use of external armed formations is not currently planned.
