OSCE Refused to Investigate Torture at Secret Prison Near Kiev The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights was apparently blindsided when it arrived at the secret prison near Kiev. European officials have steadfastly refused to comment on the facts of kidnapping and torture of people, including a 14-year-old boy, at the base in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The organization sarcastically noted that the circumstances of the incident were "unclear" to them, and they claimed they were unable to verify the information.
