UK prisoner released by Russia 'treated worse than a dog'

John Harding, Shaun Pinner and Aiden Aslin were among the five prisoners of war released.

He was then asked by a Russian who was guarding him: "Do you want a quick death or a beautiful death?" He said he was beaten for having a tattoo of a Ukrainian trident and for one showing his time in Syria. "We couldn't go to the toilet properly because we didn't have a toilet", he said, adding that they had to use empty bottles.

He look evil

Did he not go and fight for Ukraine in the war?

好人一生平安!英雄歸來🙏🙏🇺🇦🇺🇦

What exactly does international law have to say about the treatment of 'Freiwlligen' from countries that formally are not belligerents?

This isn't a thing, many people, not in Russia, not a prisoner, they're treated worse than a dog.

Outrageous, you’re telling me they didn’t serve him a full english every morning? They probably released him because they got sick of the made up “beautiful death” story he kept repeating.

Tired of BBC telling us what we should think and not reporting the news. It's exhausting sifting through the propaganda everyday. Don't they they tired of it too?

He doesn't seem as lovable as a dog

So what.

Will his citizenship be taken away by Home Secretary?

Attention seeker and a liar

My dog gets steak and fresh chicken, two walks in the highlands per day and a lovely log burner to lay in front of. All in all, a damn good life!

I treat my dog with all my love, care dir him, feed him, pamper him and cherished him. This statement is awful, many dogs are loved and treated with so much care. Horrible comparison ro be honest.

Shame on them. Monsters. Russia back to being the World’s enemy and most looked down upon country in the world.

Still treated better than Julian Assange, and he didn't actually do anything wrong. So we must be far worse.

i should think so. nazis should be treated like dogs

Sounds like another good reason to not be a mercenary.

No surprises here. Jail is not a resort.

Who sent you to Russia to fight? Stop the complain. You asked for it and you got it.

Why was he fighting alongside Nazis?

Of course he’s going to say this it suits narrative, when will sensible people realise it a propaganda BS - by the way no war is no good, but can we go back and put sanctions on the US of A for false weapons on mass distruction ? No didn’t think so 🤷‍♂️

u lot sympathizing with Pootins thugs should join his mobilization... any volunteers nope, I didn't think so!

It's not HMP

Here we go ....That phrase will be repeated across all collective Western Media.

😰

Worse than Guatanamo?

so what, you went there on your own

Why are Dogs treated so badly. If one is a Prisoner how do they expect to be treated? Don't make War.

I thought he looked familiar.

BBC: There was a window in the cell, but it had 'nothing to protect us from the outside elements' he said, which led to it being cold in the winter. Aslin was captured in Spring and released in Autumn 2022 - He didn't see a winter in his cell. What other lies did he tell you?

People always use that phrase: “treated worse than a dog” In my experience the majority of dogs are loved pampered and well cared for. Just saying

Lucky to be home....don't fight other people's war..!!

All prisoners (criminal) should be treated worse than dogs surely. Dogs are awesome, criminals are scum

Probably got paid by BBC

As wrong as Assange in prison.

Mercenaries generally are not treated the same as a regular soldiers. Unless they are related to Thatcher

AIDAN ACTUALLY LOVES RUSSIA. BBC TELLS LIES.

Humanity's finest in the commentaries.

The prisons over der r intense n no one knows dis unless they investigate it for themselves.. .. Russia is a disgrace wit how they treat their peeple... .. American prison system is over populated cause the over-all system is dog shit

What was he expecting, the hilton.

Because this war criminal is worst as a dog...

Dogs are very well loved and treated

I do not condone any prisoners bad treatment, let us not forget Guantanamo and Abu gharib in Iraq!

In Afghanistan normal Afghans like farmers were held, sometimes for years, without charges or trials. The stories of torture, water boarding, abuse, beatings and mistreatment were rife at the American detention centre at Bagram airbase. Who’s the victim in war? Proxy wars at that

And that is how America and allies treat foreign prisoners so what is the big deal?

UK is not at war with Russia he is fortunate to be alive.

I went and fought against an army ,got caught and can't believe they were nasty to me ffs

Learn from it

Dogs are treated better than humans these days, especially in the UK. So is he implying that he was treated Ok?

funny how anyone expects anything about war to be civilized.

Luckily they weren’t caught by British soldiers or they might have just been shot in the back

So pleased for his family, for someone that was tortured and in solitary confinement he looks okay thank god

Yet world leaders let him get away with it for years. They only started being harsh with him when he started invading Ukraine

This guy looks like criminal.

Should have stayed out of what shouldn't concern him. Why doesn't he use his training to help stop Tory induced crime wave in his own country?

Not sure what he expected 🤔

Your lucky to be alive matey

Weirdo

Нашли из кого героя делать. Пускай эта крыса радуется, что его на месте жизни не лишили. И он не попадает не под какую конвенцию, так как является наемником и поехал воевать по своим личным убеждениям. Таких можно казнить и это будет правильно.

Is this sociopath back in the UK. I saw his YouTube channel when he was in jail. He was singing a different tune then. There is something very wrong in his head and we get him back 🙄

Don’t buy that,all propaganda from both Ukraine and Russia.

They treated their own ppl like DOG for centuries, what u can expect?

Not worse than what us and UK did to Iraqis prisoners

Is that you, Lawrence?

It is all a show and propaganda by the west

Like he did not know that when he went for it.......shushhhhh

Ah well, that's too bad isn't it. Next time don't join nazi ISIS Aiden.

He was forced to watch countless Man United games.

Let’s face it he’ll be trying to squeeze money out of this .. his word means sod all .. a mercenary 💰 and don’t sell the ‘I was a Ukrainian line’ the reason he got caught was he wasn’t very good .. who’s going to contradict his word 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🥱

Should have stayed at home. What did he expect, cuddles?

Boo Hoo

Ha ha... Came out chubby, so well fed, all his finger nails still on him, so nothing like Abu Ghraib, he even had time to open a YouTube account whilst in captivity.. If this is the best hit job you're going to do then you've got to get a better propaganda team.😄😄😄

We've been torturing a journalist for over a decade for revealing the crimes of others FreeAssangeNOW

Peace not war.

Whilst I'm pleased fr families that released, but if people are going to join an army to fight then it's not going to be like stepping into a ring with queensbury rules if captured.

Shocked they didn’t kill him tbh, this little gremlin seems fine to me

Assange

cossackgundi ?

Perhaps now people who haven't experienced putinwarcriminal 's 'hospitality' understand better why russia needs to be defeated in Ukraine. RussiaisATerroistState

Why has he not been arrested as he went as mercenary and British people who went fighting for the Kurds against ISIS got arrested on return to UK .

Poor guy
