Ukrainian website calls for mass deportations and internment of dissenters in Ukraine

‘Internment is the imprisonment or confinement of people, commonly in large groups, without trial. Collins English dictionary defines internment as “the act of interning or state of being interned, esp of enemy citizens in wartime or of terrorism suspects”. Thus, while it can simply mean imprisonment, it tends to refer to preventative confinement rather than confinement after having been convicted of some crime. Use of these terms is subject to debate and political sensitivities.

Interned persons may be held at prisons or at facilities known as internment camps. In certain contexts, these may be known, either officially or pejoratively, as concentration camps.’
