1. SUMMARY

In 2013 the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group (hereinafter, the Kharkiv Group or KHPG) continued to work in three directions:

· analysis of the status of human rights in Ukraine;

· help to citizens whose rights were abused, public investigations of facts of violating human rights.

In 2013 one of the most important directions of KHPG activities was prevention of torture and ill-treatment. It includes analytical, law-making and lobbying activities, awareness-raising and educational activities, as well as development of a system of legal aid for victims of tortures and development and strengthening a network for preventing torture. So, KHPG experts conduct analysis of national legislation, drafts law and practice on regular basis. Our experts took part in preparing and discussing draft law of the Criminal Procedural Code, internal normative acts of the State Penitentiary Service, and draft law on National Preventing Mechanisms (NPM).  KHPG’s experts were preparing constantly updated review of the relevant ECtHR case-law. We created quite strong working connections between regional human rights NGOs and lawyers in order to investigate torture cases. Members of the partners and other human rights organisations have extended advisory aid to the citizens, conducted public investigations within their competence and extended aid by professional lawyers cooperating with their organisations. We have provided consultation and help to 65 victims of torture and ill-treatment.

KHPG Public Reception Office (PRO) for people, whose rights were abused, worked actively. Along with 2013 KHPG received 2867 written complaints about the violation of human rights by state bodies. Additionally KHPG lawyers received 2159 written complaints from drug users  and people living HIV/AIDS.

5. Activity against political persecutions

KHPG continued to defend human rights and democratic values in concrete cases of political persecutions and to protest against the actions of the government, violating human rights and fundamental freedoms of expression, gatherings, assemblies, movement, and so on. KHPG experts analysed actions of the authorities, first of all, the Ministry of Interior and its regional departments, General Prosecutor Office and regional prosecutor offices, Security Service of Ukraine, State Penitentiary Service and its regional departments, courts and commented on them on its website and in other media. KHPG was also preparing statements, petitions and protest actions, distributing information about events and the actions of civil society through press conferences and other promotional campaigns.

The most laud political cases of former Prime Minister Julia Timoshenko and former Ministry of Interiors Yuri Lutsenko were continued to be subject of struggle power and opposition. There were many brutal violations during these court trials. KHPG experts commented actions of the power, the cases of Timoshenko and Lutsenko in national courts and the European Court of Human Rights as well as judgments of the European Court in these cases. Assessment of these cases by the U.S. and European institutions as well as Western politicians essentially based on KHPG experts’ comments, statements and conclusions. KHPG also appealed to President with petitions on clemency of Lutsenko and Timoshenko.

In 2013 the persecutions of the most vulnerable groups, i.e. human rights’ and public activists,  journalists and politicians, continued and gained momentum; therefore, the human rights organisations continued the monitoring of the political persecutions[1] (we links to the English version of the monitoring).

 

6. Activity against torture and ill-treatment

Analytical, research, law-making and lobbying activities. On permanent basis, we have maintained the following analytical work:

monitoring Parliament’s legislative work;

studying international documents and monitoring the practice of international bodies;

preparing draft laws,

preparing and/or providing consultation on preparing by-law;

giving expert opinions on draft laws, administrative practice and drawing up recommendations;

discussing models for NPM, based around their advantages and disadvantages;

cooperating with UN Committee against torture, its SPT and CPT and other Council of Europe institutions;

monitoring of the ECtHR judgment enforcement.

During our activities, we have co-operated with the Ombudsman’s office and Ministry of Justice, in particular with a special department therein – the Office of the Governmental Agent in the European Convention on Human Rights in order to use the mechanisms created by the law «On the enforcement of the judgments and use of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights» to exert influence on legislative and norm creating activity of ministries and departments.

KHPG experts has prepared a shadow report to the Sixth periodic report of the Government on fulfilment of the UN Convention against torture in Ukraine in Russian and English and a shadow report to the list of issues for the Seventh periodic report on implementations of the International Covenant on civil and political rights in Russian and English. 

We have also taken part in drawing up other elements of the legal system, which are important for preventing torture, for example, participated in preparation of a draft a new law on prosecution. We also conducted in-depth analysis of the Criminal Punishment Execution Code and other related legislation from the prospect of rights and security of the prisoners and detainees.

KHPG experts have prepared drafts of amendments to law on prosecution, Executive-Criminal Code, a new draft of Rules on the Presidential Commission on clemency. Our experts also took part in preparing and discussing internal normative acts of the Penitentiary Service. They studied conditions of the custody of life prisoners and made detailed analysis of three cases of life prisoners with very dubious verdicts. Than they considered a problem of impossibility of a new considering such cases. 

We have also participated in creation of Free Legal Aid System and related regulation, in drafting amendments to information laws in order to agree these laws with the Law on Access to Public Information and laws combating discrimination, xenophobia and hate crimes.

We have regularly taken part in developing recommendations on orders, instructions and other of the MIA and State Penitentiary Service (SPtS), and now – of the Ministry of Justice, as a body directing an activity of the SPtS.

Also we have continued to prepare commentaries for publication on the compliance of national legislation and practice to international and regional standards of human rights protection. These commentaries are based both on theoretical studies, and on specific cases, the results of monitoring and reports from other human rights organizations. The SLC work has allowed us to gather detailed information about not only facts of torture and ill-treatment, but also about the real functioning of system for prevention of ill-treatment, available remedies and their operating. The information collected by the KHPG PRO and SLC was also indispensable for drafting efficient amendments to legislation and well-grounded lobbying for changes through public pressure campaigns and other forms of awareness-raising activity.

Development and strengthening a network for preventing torture. We developed quite strong working connections between regional human rights NGOs, journalists and lawyers in order to inform on and investigate of ill-treatment cases. Members of the network have extended advisory aid to the citizens, conducted public investigations within their competence and extended aid by professional lawyers cooperating with KHPG. The regional partners in co-operation with lawyers collected information on facts of torture and ill-treatment from different sources (regional mass media, personal complaints to the public reception offices (PROs), official data etc.) and provide various forms of legal assistance to victims. The PROs were in constant contact with the staff of the KHPG SLC with the aim to exchange information and knowledge, to elaborate the strategy of the case and adjust existing recourses to the needs of particular case. The KHPG also advised to partners in question, pass them educational materials.

The reports sent by the network partners were collected, generalised, and published in the specialised KHPG’s site «Proty Katuvan» (Against Torture) and KHPG portal «Human Rights in Ukraine». The specialised site «Against torture». for victims of torture and ill-treatment. It is hosted on the popular civil society portal www.maidan.org.ua. For calling website it is necessary to tape www.maidan.org.ua/special/pk. The website has also allowed users to post their own experiences with human rights abuses and comment on the experiences of others. The commenting system has also allowed for follow-ups to the original post by authorities and the original author. Information on the website is divided among several headlines. Now reports are filed according to the location of the incident with tabs for police stations, temporary detention Centres, investigative wards, penal establishments, punishment of the MIA officers, punishments of the officers of the SPtS, traffic police, criminal proceeding against MIA officers, practice advisements, and other facilities.

KHPG workers and other members of the network took part in visits to places of non-liberty together with the representatives of the Ombudsman’s office according to the OPCAT. Members of the network also held many awareness-raising events in their regions.

Awareness-raising and educational activities. Along for 2013 we conducted the following educational events: three one-day seminars for judges, two 3-days trainings for lawyers, and two 5-days schools on human rights for human rights activists. We also published and distributed five books on European and UN mechanisms of prevention of torture, on analysis of crimes of MIA officers, judgments in the strategic litigations supported by the SLC (in four volumes). We held several press-conferences and other public actions devoted to prevention of torture and ill-treatment in Ukraine and abroad.

 

7. Strengthening juvenile justice system (fight against torture and ill treatment of children)

In 2013 KHPG experts have finished a research on torture and ill-treatment of minors who have conflict with law. The research comprised the collection and analysis of data on children, who have been victims of torture and ill-treatment, analysis of the practices and laws of Ukraine in the light of international standards for children’s rights in the context of the prevention of torture and ill-treatment and protection, assistance, and indemnification for victims. We also analysed the effectiveness of the juvenile justice system in Ukraine in terms of prevention of torture and ill-treatment and the factors limiting the effectiveness of laws and governmental mechanisms intended for protection of children’s rights. The research concentrated on the understanding of the obstacles in the detection of cases of torture and ill-treatment, as well as study of them of the punishment of culprits. It also included a survey of several groups of respondents

Research results were summarised in a book «Torture and ill-treatment of children in Ukraine». The book was published and distributed in Ukrainian (1000 copies) and English (500 copies). Results of the research were discussed on the expert round table on 19 April in the Ombudsman’s office and public hearings on 24 April.

Analytical, research, law-making and lobbying activities. In the beginning of 2013 the draft law on the changes to the Law on access to public information (reg. No. 10445) was discussed in expert groups, this draft legislation provided the changes into the 52 different laws and 4 Codes and thus bring into the line these laws with the Law on Access to Public Information. Later in 2013 this draft law received the No. 0947. KHPG experts participated in the preparation of the changes to the proposed draft law, namely in the part dedicated to the access to the archives.

We started to translate biographies of dissidents and interviews with them into English as well as to digitize audi files and photos. 11 books have been published.

 

13. KHPG participation in the Euromaidan’s events  

The KHPG is a member of the Coordinating Board of the Euromaidan in Kharkiv. 8 KHPG employees take part in the Euromaidan rallies in Kharkiv on a permanent basis; 2 employees who constantly live in Kyiv, take part in the Euromaidan there. 4 more KHPG employees went to Kyiv on several occasions to participate in the Euromaidan.

The KHPG provides legal aid to all the victims of the human rights violations associated with the Kharkiv Euromaidan. In Kharkiv, 2 persons suffered from the attacks, 5 cars belonging to the Euromaidan participants were burnt, and one extremely dubious criminal case was instituted against a participant. In addition, the KHPG lawyers represent the interests of 7 victims of the human rights violations associated with the Euromaidans in other cities of Ukraine. We qualify all these cases as political persecutions.

The KHPG organized and conducted a working meeting “Euromaidan: Civic Human Rights Defence” in Kyiv on December 26 for 100 participants of the Euromaidan and human rights NGOs from different cities of Ukraine to discuss the new tasks and human rights defence mechanisms after December 1, 2013.

The KHPG took an active part in organizing and conducting of the Euromaidans’ forum in Kharkiv on January 11-12 (more than 200 participants). The forum was carried out in the extreme conditions. It was impossible to find the hall to hold the forum as we received 8 refusals. As a result, the plenary session took place in a church on Saturday and in the KHPG office on Sunday. Both of the halls could house around 50 people. However, there were approximately 150 people present. 7 workshops of the forum took place in the premises of the NGOs, including 2 of them were conducted in the KHPG premises. The KHPG office was left without electricity and a pro-government rally was arranged exactly in front of the residential block of flats where our office is situated on the first floor. The participants of the forum were repeatedly subjected to attacks by the participants of the pro-Russian organizations wearing the masks or by non-educated delinquents (“hopnyky” – in Ukrainian) simply hired for payment who threw smoke grenades, broke the glass and book shelves in a book store where one of the workshops took place. They even attacked the church. Owing to the well-established interaction of the KHPG with the police the latter faithfully guarded the forum participants from these attacks. As a result, only one person who protected the book store essentially suffered.

The English version of the KHPG portal http://khpg.org includes the fullest collection of data on human rights violations associated with all Euromaidans in Ukraine.
