war crimes in Ukraine
The Tribunal for Putin (T4P) global initiative was set up in response to the all-out war launched by Russia against Ukraine in February 2022.
• Topics / Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea
Russia’s ‘justification’ for MH17 and other surreal moments at the International Court of Justice
05.06.2019
The latest round of hearings is underway before the International Court of Justice at the Hague in Ukraine’s suit against Russia over alleged violations of two international conventions
Council of Europe looks set to cave in to Russian blackmail
04.06.2019
On the same day that Russia challenged the jurisdiction of a second UN tribunal whose orders it is flouting, the Council of Europe’s Rules Committee adopted a draft resolution which could open the door to removing the sanctions imposed after Russia’s invasion and annexation of Crimea
Russia detains & prosecutes Crimean Solidarity rights activist for being tagged on Facebook
03.06.2019
Lutfiye Zudiyeva, a prominent human rights activist in Russian-occupied Crimea, has been detained, prosecuted and fined for three Facebook posts which she personally had nothing to do with, but which somebody tagged her on when posting five years ago .
Two Crimean Solidarity women activists detained in Russian-occupied Crimea
31.05.2019
Two human rights activists, both of them mothers with young children, were detained in occupied Crimea on 30 May in what seems an overt warning that women will also face persecution for taking a courageous civic stand
Russia uses wholesale arrests to try to crush Crimean Tatar human rights movement
29.05.2019
A prominent human rights NGO has condemned the recent operation against Crimean Tatar activists and declared all 24 men political prisoners imprisoned for their civic position and human rights work
Russia offers dangerously ill Crimean Tatar political prisoner his life for a ‘confession’
28.05.2019
Edem Bekirov has been promised house arrest in return for ‘confessing’ to a crime he could not possibly have committed. Since the 58-year-old political prisoner’s life is being placed in real danger by his ongoing imprisonment, the FSB are using his physical state and the intolerable conditions in detention as bargaining tools .
Secret ‘spying’ trial in Russian-occupied Crimea based solely on a televised ‘confession’
27.05.2019
The trial of 32-year-old Kostyantin Davydenko is taking place behind closed doors before a ’judge’ who has already sentenced political prisoner Yevhen Panov to 8 years’ imprisonment despite the lack of any evidence to back extremely implausible charges
Russia ordered to immediately release 24 Ukrainian seamen in major victory for Ukraine
25.05.2019
The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea [ITLOS] has ordered Russia to immediately release the 24 Ukrainian seamen whom it took prisoner on 25 November 2018, and to also return the three Ukrainian naval vessels it seized in its attack.
The state-sponsored abductions that Russia brought to Crimea. Where is Ervin Ibragimov?
24.05.2019
The de facto authorities’ total failure to investigate even the most brazen abductions can only strengthen suspicion that they know exactly who was behind them
Death no obstacle to Russia’s brutal persecution of Crimean Tatars
23.05.2019
Just as the presumption of innocence and need for evidence are concepts that find no place in Russia’s system of repression in occupied Crimea, so too are mercy and fundamental humanity
If Zelensky is serious about freeing the Kremlin’s hostages, he must show it now
23.05.2019
On 21 April, then President-Elect Volodymyr Zelensky called the release of all political prisoners and PoWs his priority. He now has every opportunity to make that a reality and the relatives of the prisoners and human rights groups have given him a road map on where to begin
Russia uses threats & intimidation to drive Crimean Tatar language out of schools in occupied Crimea
21.05.2019
Both enforcement bodies and school heads are being used in Russian-occupied Crimea to ‘dissuade’ children and their parents from asserting their full right to insist on education in the Crimean Tatar language
Bitter 75th Anniversary of the Crimean Tatar Deportation as Russian persecution mounts in occupied Crimea
17.05.2019
This is no formal remembrance of a tragedy somewhere back in the distant past. 75 years after Stalin’s monstrous act of genocide, many Crimean Tatars are once again in forced exile, others imprisoned in occupied Crimea or Russia for their civic activism or simply for their faith
Tortured Crimean Tatar jailed for over 10 years without a crime
17.05.2019
The de facto High Court in Russian-occupied Crimea has upheld a 10.5 year sentence against a young Crimean Tatar, Fevzi Sahandzhy despite the latter’s allegations of torture and the lack of any criminal behaviour in the charges
Civic journalist Osman Arifmemetov imprisoned in Russia for reporting repression in occupied Crimea
15.05.2019
Osman Arifmemetov was one of the first civic journalists in occupied Crimea and there is every reason to believe that his arrest and imprisonment are the direct result of his tireless work in reporting on the ever-increasing number of armed searches, arrests and politically-motivated ‘trials’ since 2014
Ukrainian MPs seem ready to abandon Kremlin hostages
14.05.2019
After two years of empty assurances about support for the Kremlin’s Ukrainian hostages and POWs, Ukraine’s lawmakers could be on the point of passing a bill that gives the Security Service unwarranted power to determine who counts as a hostage, while not helping any of the ever-increasing number of political prisoners held in occupied Crimea and Russia
Russia denies that political prisoner Balukh has Ukrainian citizenship after jailing him for not betraying Ukraine
13.05.2019
The Russian prison service is treating Volodymyr Balukh as a Russian citizen and refusing to let him see the Ukrainian consul. Balukh is imprisoned for his peaceful opposition to Russia’s occupation of Crimea and was subjected to farcical ‘trials’ as a Ukrainian, so the move now to deny him his citizenship is especially lawless
Russia claims torture used to imprison Sentsov is none of the European Court’s business
10.05.2019
It is five years today since Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov was seized by Russian FSB and tortured in occupied Crimea. If the allegations of torture were untrue, why is Russia lying about when he was arrested?
