One woman said that insurgent forces had abducted her husband in May. She said that he called her on May 21 to say goodbye. He said that the insurgents were holding him and they would execute him in 15 minutes. The next day she identified his body in the morgue, but the insurgents refused to give her the body for burial. Another person standing around the burial site, a man in his thirties, said that he was looking for his friend who got into a fight on the street and was then picked up by the insurgents. Nobody has seen him since.

Slavyansk, separatists tortured and executed 4 protestants (bodies found in the mass grave)
Translation:
In Slovyansk eight victims of pro-Russian terrorists have been buried. [Note: I think they were four, not eight. Maybe the reason for the confusion of numbers is that two photos of each victim were shown at the funeral as you see in the picture, or because one of the victims had eight children.] All of the killed people were parishioners of the Protestant Church "The Transfiguration of Christ" and were killed, because, according to the militants, they were “cultists and traitors” of the Russian people.
“On June 8 after the service, so-called ‘DNR militia’ broke into the premises of the church “Transfiguration of Christ” and told that they will arrest the deacons Vladimir Velichko and Victor Bradarsky, and also two adult sons of the senior pastor, Ruvym and Albert Pavenko. The terrorists charged the Christians with a crime against DNR - namely, support for the Ukrainian army.
More than a month the family of these parishioners anxiously waited for the prisoners to be released from captivity. Vladimir Velichko was survived by his wife and eight children, Victor Bradarsky left three children behind. One of the brothers Pavenko was still single, the other one was married.
As it turned out, the parishioners had been tortured and killed already the next day - June 9 (according to one of the deputy prosecutors of Slovyansk who managed to escape from captivity of DNR, he heard the cries of the brothers, who were tortured during the interrogation). Their bodies were found in one of the mass graves, along with two dozen others who were tortured (information from the brothers of Donbass)” says a Christian news media site.
After the exhumation, the bodies were interred in accordance with Protestant Christian traditions.
“Today is the mourning service. All Protestant churches gathered at the memorial service of the city, canceling their services” Peter Fudnyk writes on his Facebook page.
