In the face of mass protests in Ukraine and serious warnings abroad, President Zelenskyy has, as he promised, tabled a new bill, which may resolve the problems created by a bill rushed into law two days earlier

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Chilling escalation as Russia brings 'treason' charges against Crimean activist for pro-Ukrainian graffiti

Russia kills 74-year-old Ukrainian political prisoner abducted from occupied Enerhodar

• War crimes   • Events

Russia bans Internet searches for ‘extremist material’, broadening scope for terror in occupied Ukraine

This is the first time that Russia has introduced prosecution for a Google search, with even Putin chief propagandist indignant, albeit only because it will make denunciations more difficult

Russian FSB concocts 'terrorism' charges two months after abducting 24-year-old Crimean Tatar woman

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Mounting terror in occupied Crimea as FSB openly hide abducted Ukrainians while probably torturing out ‘confessions’

It is likely that Serhiy Hryshchenkov and many others are held without any official status to make it easier for the FSB to fabricate charges through torture and threats

• War crimes   • Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russian FSB given chilling new weapon of repression against Ukrainian political prisoners

Up till now, Russia’s FSB have generally confined their most horrific torture to before their victim was formally charged and remanded in custody. That is likely to change with the dangerous new powers which Russian legislators have given them

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Planted ‘extremist’ literature and prohibitive fine used to crush independent Muslim community in Russian-occupied Crimea
