Judge seized by Kremlin-backed Donbas militants after arriving for his father’s funeral
09.11.2016
Kremlin-backed militants from the so-called ‘Luhansk people’s republic’ [LNR] have taken Vitaly Rudenko , a judge from the Luhansk Regional Court of Appeal, prisoner and are threatening to try him for ’state treason’
Kremlin-backed militants ’arrest’ football fans for mystery ’treason’, real Ukrainian flag
08.11.2016
Kremlin-backed militants who have been holding two young Luhansk football fans - Vlad Ovcharenko & Artem Akhmerov - prisoner for a month have suddenly announced their ‘arrest’ as though it happened on Russia’s ‘National Unity’ Day. It is not only the timing, but also the supposed ‘plot’ uncovered that seems suspiciously adapted for the Russian media
Russia prevents ‘Ukrainian Crimea saboteur’ hostages seeing lawyers after torture exposed
02.11.2016
Russia’s FSB are preventing Ukrainian prisoners Yevhen Panov and Andriy Zakhtei from seeing a lawyer, or receiving letters and parcels from Ukraine. They and imprisoned Ukrainian journalist Roman Sushchenko are now in even greater danger since real human rights activists will no longer be able to visit them
The Children Russia has Taken Hostage
31.10.2016
While it is Russia’s imprisonment of Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov, Crimean Tatar leader Akhtem Chiygoz and others that gets reported, there are several times more victims, and many of them very small
New strategy needed to make Russia’s Ukrainian hostage-taking hurt & bring political prisoners home
29.10.2016
Relatives and lawyers representing Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov and other Ukrainian political prisoners have demanded a new strategy for putting pressure on Moscow and coordinating efforts. Much more is needed than mere statements of protest, as the number of prisoners in Russia and Russian-occupied Crimea mounts.
Russia’s First Crimean Political Prisoner Found After More Than Two Years.
28.10.2016
Maidan activist Mykola Shiptur has been held prisoner in Russian-occupied Crimea since March 9, 2014, but his case has only just come to light now thanks to human rights activists noticing the clear political elements in an alleged criminal conviction.
10-year sentence for being a Crimean Tatar and Muslim?
28.10.2016
Refat Alimov is turning 25 on Oct 28. He will be spending his birthday in the overcrowded and filthy Simferopol SIZO facing surreal ‘terrorism’ charges based solely on totally unproven involvement in an organization which is legal in Ukraine and in most countries.
Kremlin-backed militants are refusing to release 62-year-old Donetsk religious specialist
27.10.2016
62-year-old Ihor Kozlovskyy, a renowned religious specialist active in interfaith dialogue, has been held prisoner by militants from the so-called ‘Donetsk people’s republic’ [DNR] since late January this year
Jailed for refusing to bear false testimony against Crimean Tatar leader
26.10.2016
Ali Asanov and Mustafa Degermendzhy are paying a high price in Russian-occupied Crimea for their commitment to Ukraine’s territorial integrity, and for their own personal integrity. Both men are charged over a pre-annexation demonstration that Russia can have no jurisdiction over, and are almost certainly being held in detention as revenge for their refusal to give false testimony against the third political prisoner, Crimean Tatar leader Akhtem Chiygoz
Donbas militants ’arrest’ young football fans for photos with a Ukrainian flag
18.10.2016
Several young people have been accused by militants from the so-called ‘Luhansk people’s republic’ of ‘spying for Ukraine’ and ‘treason’, with this seemingly linked to photographs they posted at the end of August on social networks with the Ukrainian flag
FSB Moves ‘Ukrainian Crimea Saboteur’ Prisoners to Russia To Hide Proof of Torture
10.10.2016
There is reason to believe that Yevhen Panov and Andriy Zakhtei, two Ukrainians held prisoner by the FSB in Russian-occupied Crimea have been taken to Russia, with this coming soon after compelling evidence was made public of the torture Panov was subjected to.
Ukrainian journalist seized in Russia on mystery ‘spying’ charges
03.10.2016
Ukrinform has reacted with outrage to the detention in Moscow of its journalist Roman Sushchenko, and to the fact that his whereabouts and the supposed ‘spying charges’ were learned about from the Russian media. It believes this to be the latest act of deliberate provocation by Russia against Ukrainians
Ukraine’s SBU abducts asylum seeker, takes her by force to Russia
14.09.2016
Ukraine’s Security Service [SBU] have illegally seized a 26-year-old woman who had just applied for asylum in Kharkiv and forcibly taken her to Russia in a move which human rights activists have called treachery and which suggests a baffling degree of collaboration between Russia and Ukraine’s security services
Kremlin-backed militants ‘arrest’ teenagers as ‘Ukrainian saboteurs’
13.09.2016
Militants from the so-called ‘Donbas people’s republic’ [DNR] have ‘arrested’ 7 teenagers and claim that they were blowing up civilian and military targets for Ukraine’s SBU [Security Service]. The reports, backed only by videos of the lads supposedly ‘confessing’, are chillingly similar to Russia’s recent claim that Ukraine had ‘attacked’ Ukrainian Crimea under Russian occupation.
Umerov Released: Only Russia’s Persecution Showed Pathology
08.09.2016
What Russia was hoping to achieve by risking Umerov’s life and resorting to punitive psychiatry remains unclear. Presumably not the actual result, namely to highlight the Soviet-style repression unleashed since Russia’s invasion and annexation of Crimea
Russia’s Trial of jailed Crimean Tatar leader turns openly racist
07.09.2016
The current ‘trial’ of imprisoned Crimean Tatar leader Akhtem Chiygoz is proving as openly contemptuous of the law as the charges themselves. Chiygoz has been prevented from attending his own ‘trial’, or even properly hearing what is being said, and the prosecutor makes no attempt to conceal his racist views
Free Ilmi Umerov! Stop Political Terror in the Crimea!
05.09.2016
Statement of the Ukrainian Center of the International PEN
Pro-Kremlin Media Lies as International Pressure Mounts to Free Umerov
04.09.2016
International protest over Russia’s prosecution and punitive psychiatry against Crimean Tatar leader Ilmi Umerov has not gone unnoticed in Moscow. The demands for his immediate release are unheeded, but a newspaper close to the Kremlin has produced a supposed ‘interview’ trying to discredit Umerov and refute all grounds for protest.
Strasbourg wants answers about Russia’s alleged ‘Ukrainian Crimea saboteur’ prisoner
02.09.2016
Russia is continuing to hold Ukrainian Yevhen Panov prisoner in occupied Crimea, and preventing him from seeing an independent lawyer. The European Court of Human Rights has responded with hard-hitting questions about the legal grounds for the Ukrainian being deprived of his liberty, the origin of ’injuries and legal defence
Jailed Crimean Tatar rights activist’s lawyer banned from Russian-occupied Crimea
31.08.2016
The FSB must view telling the truth as a threat to Russia’s national security since there were no other grounds for banning Yevhenia Zakrevska. She is representing Emir-Huseyn Kuku whom the FSB first tried to ‘recruit’, then abduct, and are now holding in prison on trumped-up charges
