    Pretty rough, from what I understand:

    • Promised jobs in Germany
    • sent to Bangkok instead
    • Taken to Belarus
    • Taken across border into Russia, kept at camps.

    Once in Russia, they were told to join the Russian Army. To motivate them, they were:

    • Offered Russian work visas, brides, and passports
    • Denied food and water when they refused.
    • Burned with heated wood and matchsticks, cut with knives, and other torture methods
    • Threated with knives and guns
    • Finally arrested for illegally entering the Russia.

    I’ve heard other reports of people from India getting forced into fighting for Russia after fraudulent job offers, so it seems like this is becoming fairly widespread.

      Thanks for this summary that’s a lot better than the title which implies they went to Russia voluntarily to “get wives”.
