Not Forgotten! Solidarity Campaign for ‘Crimean Four’ imprisoned in Russia
24.05.2016
Russia has hidden Crimean political prisoners: renowned filmmaker Oleg Sentsov, Oleksandr Kolchenko; Gennady Afanasyev and Oleksiy Chirniy as far from their families, the media and western diplomats as could be achieved, which in Russia is far. Join Ukrainian civic organizations in proving that it’s not far enough!
Russia’s “most monstrously falsified trial” of Ukrainians ends as commissioned
20.05.2016
It is Mykola Karpyuk’s birthday on May 21. Please write to him and to Stanislav Klykh! The two recognized political prisoners have been, as expected, convicted of supposed crimes in Chechnya despite all historical evidence and alibis

Facts & alibis pitched against torture as Russia’s trial of Karpyuk & Klykh ends
18.05.2016
The verdict is imminent in the trial of two Ukrainians whom Russia has accused of killing Russian soldiers in Chechnya 20 years ago. If ‘confessions’ extracted through torture, evidence of alibis and of glaring historical inaccuracies have become standard in Russia’s trials of imprisoned Ukrainians, on this occasion there is one crucial difference.
Drop unfounded charges against Russian rights activist Valentina Cherevatenko
18.05.2016
Representatives of Russian and international NGOs are appalled by a new and alarming development in the campaign of pressure against Russian civil society, namely the possible first criminal proceedings linked with the law on NGOs as so-called ‘foreign agents’
Ukrainian taken hostage & tortured for Russian propaganda
17.05.2016
The renowned Memorial Human Rights Centre has declared Ukrainian Serhiy Lytvynov a political prisoner and demanded his immediate release. It calls the cowherd from a Luhansk village near the border with Russia a victim of “the Russian-Ukrainian conflict”, who was used for propaganda purposes
Russian Activist Jailed & Could Face 5-year Sentence for Wearing a Putin Mask
17.05.2016
Roman Roslovtsev has been jailed for 20 days for taking a walk in a mask depicting Russian President Vladimir Putin, but could face a prison sentence of up to 5 years under new draconian anti-protest legislation. The brave young Russian is in fact challenging the authorities to prosecute to demonstrate the repressive insanity of the new law.
Russia to prohibit citizens from leaving the country in draconian anti-protest law
16.05.2016

Predictable cruelty, worrying news on Savchenko’s 2nd birthday in Russian captivity

Alibis as inadmissible evidence in Russia’s ‘trial’ of tortured Ukrainians
11.05.2016
The judge in the trial of Mykola Karpyuk and Stanislav Klykh has refused to include material confirming that neither man was in Chechnya 20 years ago when Russia claims they fought against Russian soldiers. The court has demonstrated the same disregard for Memorial Human Rights Centre analyses which show that the entire case against the two Ukrainians is an incompetent fabrication.
Chechen Whistle-Blower Disappears After Demanding Legal Action Against Kadyrov
11.05.2016

Russian blogger gets 2-year sentence for reposting that Crimea is Ukraine
06.05.2016
If the truth about the Soviet Union once resulted in imprisonment for ‘anti-Soviet propaganda’, just reposting an article entitled ‘Crimea is Ukraine’ can now result in a prison sentence for so-called ‘public calls to separatism’. You’ll also end up on Russia’s ‘List of extremists and terrorists’

Ukraine has formally requested the extradition of another Ukrainian abducted from Crimea in 2014 and sentenced in Russia to 11 years on mystery ‘spying’ charges. Valentin Vyhivsky was sentenced behind closed doors, with his lawyer preventing from divulging any information, including the almost certain use of torture to extract a ‘confession’ from the 33-year-old.
No Defence, No Mercy for Russia’s Oldest Ukrainian Hostage

29.04.2016
