2 months ago, #Russia returned to #Ukraine the body of #journalist #ViktoriaRoshchyna
There was evidence of torture: abrasions, bruises, a broken rib, and suspected electric shock injuries
Also missing from her body was her brain, both eyeballs, and part of her trachea
That would obscure evidence of death by strangulation or suffocation
But also:
She was a journalist
She used her eyes, her voice, and her thoughts
And the #mafiaState sent a message about that
