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
Make Russias open interference a Pyrrhic Putin - Trump victory
11.11.2016
Why Russia should be so openly celebrating Donald Trump’s election, and even flaunting the consultations Trump’s team denied, is clear. Whether painless and ongoing triumph is guaranteed must be less so.
Crimean Tatar who sued Putin over annexation ‘deported’ from Russian-occupied Crimea
09.11.2016
Nedim Khalilov, a Crimean Tatar activist who in February 2016 filed a civil suit asking for the actions of the occupation regime and Russian President Vladimir Putin to be declared illegal, has been ‘deported’ from his homeland and is being forcibly sent to Uzbekistan
Russia uses punitive psychiatry against more Crimean political prisoners
04.11.2016
After placing Crimean Tatar leader Ilmi Umerov’s life in danger through effective imprisonment in a psychiatric institution, the Russian FSB in occupied Crimea are now planning forced ‘psychiatric assessments’ of Crimean Tatar human rights activist Emir-Huseyn Kuku and five other Crimean Muslims. Their lawyers have condemned the move as unacceptable pressure on the men.
Prosecuted under Russian occupation for honouring Victims of Crimean Tatar Deportation
02.11.2016
Four young Crimean Tatars from Sudak have each been fined 20 thousand roubles in Russian-occupied Crimea over a peaceful act of remembrance for the victims of the 1944 Deportation of the Crimean Tatar People
Why a Trump Victory Would Put Ukraine in Danger. In Trump’s Own Words
01.11.2016
Moscow’s obvious, and seemingly active, support for Donald Trump in the US Elections is ignored by some Ukrainian Americans or dismissed as ‘leftist’ propaganda. The denial is baffling given how often Trump’s own statements echo Russia’s position on Crimea, on Ukraine in general and on NATO
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
Russia upholds its savage revenge on young Ukrainian Maidan activist
31.10.2016
Having failed to prevent Euromaidan, Russia is avenging itself on individual activists, including through surreal court trials in Russian-occupied Crimea for alleged actions over which it can have no jurisdiction. The 10-year sentence just upheld against 23-year-old Andriy Kolomiyets has demonstrated that any Ukrainian who took part in Maidan is not safe in occupied Crimea or Russia.
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.
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
Russia invades Crimea then jails Crimean Tatars, other Ukrainians for ‘terrorism’
25.10.2016
The abductions, disappearances, politically motivated trials seen in Crimea since Russia’s invasion have long been a bitter reality in the Russian Federation. Some seem particularly cynical from a regime which seized control through the use of armed soldiers without insignia and lawless paramilitaries
Head of Beleaguered Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Crimea detained after informing PACE of rights abuses
20.10.2016
Archbishop Kliment, the Head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the Kyiv Patriarchate in Crimea, was detained on Oct 19. He was released this time but fears that Russia may be planning to ban him from occupied Crimea as it has Mustafa Dzhemliev and others
Italian far-right collaborators openly admit breaking the law in Russian-occupied Crimea
17.10.2016
However marginal the motley bunch of far-right politicians visiting Russian-occupied Crimea may be, they serve Russia’s propaganda machine and are also publicly admitting to flouting sanctions binding on their country
In Memory of Petro Grigorenko whose voice in defence of Crimean Tatars is again desperately needed
16.10.2016
It is the 109th anniversary today of the birth of Petro Grigorenko, Soviet General, Soviet dissident, victim of punitive psychiatry and defender of the Crimean Tatar people. His friend Mustafa Dzhemiliev is now again in exile, and the Crimean Tatars facing persecution in their homeland under Russian occupation
Another Crimean Tatar faces 5-year sentence for opposing Russian occupation of Crimea
14.10.2016
Russia is literally accusing Suleyman Kadyrov, as it has Ilmi Umerov and journalist Mykola Semena, of ‘separatism’ for opposing Russian occupation of their homeland, with the article of the criminal code – 280.1 carrying a possible 5-year term of imprisonment
New wave of Crimean Tatar arrests in Russian-occupied Crimea
13.10.2016
Five more Crimean Tatars are in custody in Russian-occupied Crimea accused of involvement in an organization which is legal in Ukraine. The five men are all devout Muslims and some at least have this year or last taken part in the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca. Under Russian occupation, no more appears to be needed to face imprisonment on concocted ‘terrorism’ charges.
Kremlin Takes Revenge on Crimean Tatars for Foiling Covert Annexation Plans
12.10.2016
Russia’s criminalization of the Crimean Tatar Mejlis and persecution of its leaders may well be revenge for spoiling the Kremlin’s plan to seize Crimea without getting its hands dirty. This has long been suspected, and was only confirmed by intercepted conversations with Putin’s advisor Sergei Glazyev.
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.
Another Crimean Tatar faces prosecution for calling Crimea Ukraine
10.10.2016
Suleyman Kadyrov, a member of the Feodosia mejlis (regional self-governing body) could be the next to face surreal ‘separatism’ charges, following an armed search linked to a Facebook post from March 2016 in which Kadyrov calls Crimea part of Ukraine. .
Front Line Defenders protest against harassment of Emir-Huseyn Kuku’s family
10.10.2016
The international NGO calls for Kuku’s release and for an end to the harassment of his two children
Ukrainian savagely beaten in Russian-occupied Crimea punished, not his attacker
04.10.2016
No criminal proceedings were brought against the man, probably a police officer, who brutally attacked Ihor Movenko over Ukrainian symbols and an ‘Azov Battalion’ sticker on his bike. Only Movenko has faced a court hearing and fine
