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 moves to crush Orthodox Church of Ukraine in occupied Crimea
14.02.2019
The Orthodox Church of Ukraine has been ordered to vacate the Cathedral of Vladimir and Olga in occupied Simferopol by the beginning of March, with this likely to lead to eight parishes in rural areas also being forced to close
Ukrainian could face 3-year sentence for daubing paint on monument to Russian invaders of Crimea
14.02.2019
Maxim Sokurenko has been remanded in custody in occupied Crimea and could face a three-year prison sentence for hurling a bit of paint at a monument to the Russian soldiers without insignia who seized control of Crimea five years ago
Russia refuses to allow Ukrainian political prisoner Kolchenko to complete his studies
13.02.2019
It is using its shocking claim that Kolchenko has ‘automatically’ become a Russian citizen which both Kolchenko and Oleg Sentsov have vehemently rejected
Russian FSB terrorizes another Ukrainian activist in occupied Crimea
12.02.2019
It seems clear that the FSB are either hoping to find something to pin on Oleh Prykhodko or to frighten him into leaving Crimea
Turncoats and torture deployed against Ukrainian Muslims in Russian-occupied Crimea
11.02.2019
It is no accident that Russia’s censor has begun a new campaign to stifle information about human rights violations in occupied Crimea by trying to force YouTube to delete material about imprisoned human rights activist Emir-Usein Kuku and the arrests on 11 February 2016. There is a lot that the FSB, and especially Alexander Kompaneitsev, a notorious Ukrainian turncoat, should want to hide.
Ukrainian political prisoners in Russia & occupied Crimea jailed for much longer than murderers
08.02.2019
A court in Russian-occupied Crimea has sentenced a man who killed his wife, dismembered her body and threw the parts in different rubbish bins to eight years’ imprisonment, 11 years less than a Crimean Tatar political prisoner imprisoned for his faith
YouTube collaborates with Russia to censor video about imprisoned Crimean Tatar human rights activist Kuku
07.02.2019
YouTube has demanded that the Ukrainian Centre for Journalist Investigations [CJI] remove a video about imprisoned Crimean Tatar human rights activist Emir-Usein Kuku because of a complaint received from Roskomnadzor, Russia’s effective censor
Russian FSB rejects imprisoned Crimean Tatar activist’s alibi in favour of their ‘secret witness’
01.02.2019
The FSB in Russian-occupied Crimea are not just ignoring the fact that Edem Bekirov, a 57-year-old amputee with grave medical problems could not have committed the actions he is accused of. They are also refusing to consider Bekirov’s alibi which debunks the testimony of the FSB’s anonymous ‘secret witness’
ECHR puts off examination of Sentsov & Kolchenko vs. Russia essentially for political reasons
30.01.2019
Earlier reports that the European Court of Human Rights had restored the ‘priority status’ assigned to the case of Russia’s Ukrainian political prisoners Oleg Sentsov and Oleksandr Kolchenko were, as suspected, premature. One mistake was rectified, yet the Court is still refusing to consider the men’s applications until it has examined Ukraine’s intergovernmental case against Russia over Crimea.
New Russian laws can stifle any information about environmental disasters in occupied Crimea
29.01.2019
Russia has made it “a thousand times more difficult to write freely” in occupied Crimea than in its own country, according to one Russian journalist who warns that the situation is likely to deteriorate still further after a new dangerous legislative initiative
Russia sentences Crimean Tatar to 10 years for alleged involvement in ‘Ukrainian battalion’
28.01.2019
It is indicative of the questionable nature of all such prosecutions that Russian-controlled reports of this sentence used identical video footage to that shown in reporting another alleged arrest of a ‘battalion member’ on that very same day.
Russia ordered to comply with the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War in treatment of 24 imprisoned Ukrainians
25.01.2019
PACE has called on Russia to release all 24 Ukrainian servicemen seized on 25 November 2018, and has insisted that their treatment must be in accordance with the Geneva Conventions, one of which regulates treatment of prisoners of war.
Four Crimean Tatar political prisoners released under house arrest
25.01.2019
Bitter questions must, however, remain as none of the men should even have been imprisoned in the first place, and not only because of the absurd charges
Russia stages mystery arrest for new propaganda about ‘Crimean Tatar battalion’
24.01.2019
After claiming that Edem Bekirov, an amputee who has a serious heart condition, is an Asker Battalion fighter, the Russian FSB is now hiding the face of another Crimean Tatar arrested on similar charges, and carrying out armed searches of the parents of activists living in mainland Ukraine
Four Crimean Tatars sentenced for their faith in Russian occupied Crimea
23.01.2019
A court in Russian-occupied Crimea has convicted four men of involvement in a peaceful movement which is totally legal in Ukraine, but which Russia has decided to label ‘extremist’
5-year sentence demanded in Russia’s “safari hunt of Muslims” in occupied Crimea
21.01.2019
The de facto prosecutor in Russian-occupied Crimea has demanded one real five-year prison term and three suspended sentences in its prosecution of four Crimean Muslims for membership of the entirely peaceful and apolitical Tablighi Jamaat missionary movement
Russia seizes bus driver and forces him to ‘confess’ to spying for Ukraine
18.01.2019
Russia’s FSB has come up with another Ukrainian spying story, with a standard ‘confession’ wildly shown on state-controlled television.
Charges against Crimean Tatar activist dropped after he was tortured and jailed for six months
17.01.2019
The Investigative Committee in Russian-occupied Crimea has terminated criminal proceedings against Ismail Ramazanov almost a year after he was arrested, savagely tortured and held in detention for six months
Russia brings mass prosecutions of believers to occupied Crimea
17.01.2019
While Muslims and Jehovah’s Witnesses are most in danger, believers of other faiths have also faced prosecution for worshiping in the wrong place or similar
Russia caused one death to try to discredit Crimean Tatars and is now risking new fatalities
16.01.2019
Russia began its most sordid persecution of Crimean Tatars by causing the death of 83-year-old Vedzhie Kashka and now appears intent on breaking its record of deaths
