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

Unending torment as Valentyn Vyhivsky, other Ukrainian political prisoners held in Russian captivity after long sentences

Valentyn and his family have already suffered enough after 11 long years, as have others, like Hennadiy Lymeshko who was seized after serving an 8-year sentence and sentenced to two more years

• War crimes

Russia passes horrific 24-year sentence against Melitopol man ‘for possession of explosives’

Standard ‘treason’ and ‘terrorism’ charges were thrown in, however the only actual ‘offence’ claimed is one standardly fabricated against Ukrainian political prisoners

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

At least 55 Crimeans are held incommunicado, without charges, in notorious FSB-controlled prison

64-year-old Marat Batyrov and Sakha Manhubi, a young mother with two small children, are now known to have been held at SIZO-2 for up to a year with the isolation and lack of official recognition often used by the FSB to torture out 'confessions'

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Monstrous 18-year sentence against 66-year-old Ukrainian from Russian-occupied Sevastopol

Russia’s ‘treason trials’ in occupied Crimea all seem to come from the same conveyor belt, with the sentence against Oleksandr Hlukhoiedov one of three churned out on virtually identical charges

• War crimes

Russia uses Ukrainian flag as pretext for new charges against ‘freed’ political prisoner Serhiy Buhaichuk

Serhiy Buhaichuk always denied the first fabricated charges used to sentence him to 8 years and then refused to go along with the new stunt. He may be suffering reprisals for this, or simply be an easy – Ukrainian -target

• War crimes

Only Russia wins if there is no international investigation of its Olenivka mass killing of Ukrainian POWs

50 Ukrainian prisoners of war who had been moved to a new barracks at Olenivka according to a list of names, were either killed outright in an unexplained explosion or died as the direct result of the prison staff's denial of medical treatment

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russia’s attack on Crimean Solidarity extends repression to all lawyers defending political prisoners

The list of new targets, the vast majority of whom are Crimean Tatars, is huge, and includes human rights defenders, journalists and the fathers, wives or other close family members of political prisoners

• War crimes

Ukrainian sentenced to 12 years for ‘endangering Russian security’ through donation to Ukraine’s defenders

Victor Nikitenko was 'accused' by the aggressor state which invaded Ukraine of seeking to help the men and women in defending his country

• War crimes

War crimes probe initiated after Russians interrogate, then execute Ukrainian POW

This is the latest of many killings of Ukrainian prisoners of war, with evidence mounting that Russian commanders encourage subordinates to "not take prisoners"

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Chersonese in Russian-occupied Crimea added to UNESCO List of World Heritage in Danger

It is, tragically, not only Tauric Chersonese which Russia is destroying in its attempt to commandeer and rewrite history. Its destruction of the vital Crimean Tatar Khans Palace in Bakhchysarai has been no less barbaric

• War crimes

Two young Ukrainians sentenced to 15 & 20 years for fictitious ‘international terrorism’ near Russian-occupied Melitopol

Russian attempts to present railway partisans as ‘international terrorists’ would under any circumstances be absurd. They become even more surreal given the alleged reason why the sabotage didn’t work

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russia sentences 59-year-old Maryna Kovalenko whose son is defending Ukraine to 13 years for 'treason'

Not only is it unclear what the information is that the ex-Luhansk school head is supposed to have passed to Ukraine's SBU or why they were interested, but when she could have done so before she was abducted
