• Against torture and ill-treatment

Concluding observations of the UN Committee against Torture on Ukraine’s seventh periodic report

In April, the UN reviewed another report from our country on the implementation of the provisions of the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. We are publishing the conclusions, recommendations, and observations of the UN Committee against Torture.

Ukrainian abducted from Kherson sentenced to 17 years for attack on Russian collaborator

Russia has been mercilessly bombing civilians in Kherson since the latter was liberated, yet claimed that Andriy Seriozhenko’s alleged involvement in a legitimate attack on a Russian-installed traitor was ‘international terrorism’

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russia escalates persecution, labelling renowned Crimean Tatar journalist and human rights defender a ‘foreign agent’

This is the latest of several attacks on Lutfiye Zudiyeva and clearly aimed at silencing the courageous Crimean Solidarity coordinator, whose male colleagues have ended up receiving massive sentences for refusing to be stifled

Three Russian ‘courts’ call defending Ukraine and obstructing invaders ‘international terrorism’

Pavlo Zaporozhets was serving his country when abducted by the Russians, tortured and then sentenced to 12 years maximum-security imprisonment

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russia rubberstamps 15-year ‘treason’ sentence against 58-year-old Crimean activist Oksana Senedzhuk

It is extremely likely that Oksana Senedzhuk was targeted because of her pro-Ukrainian position and open opposition to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine

Russia's use of 'terrorism' charges over an alleged plan to blow up a Russian military convoy that had no right to be on Ukrainian territory is only one of many suspicious aspects to this case

Russia ruled responsible for the downing of MH17 over occupied Ukraine and killing of 298 passengers and crew

Russia is likely to stall and obstruct efforts to obtain legal redress, but the Civil Aviation Organization’s ruling is unprecedented and damning

Russian invaders erect monument to Soviet dictator Stalin in occupied Melitopol

Russia is now importing its mounting glorification of a mass murderer responsible for acts of genocide against the Crimean Tatar people, and, through Holodomor, against Ukraine

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russia threatens Crimean Tatar political prisoners with deportation to Uzbekistan

The move would be cynical and lawless, however Russia has already forcibly deported one human rights activist. They also killed recognized refugee Nabi Rahimov and then sent his wife back to Uzbekistan where she faced religious persecution

Creation of Special Tribunal over Russia’s aggression against Ukraine leaves Putin frustratingly out of reach

While fixation with Vladimir Putin’s role cannot diminish the guilt of others implicated in Russia’s aggression, how can justice be served by not holding him and Sergei Lavrov accountable?

Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant guard savagely tortured to blame Ukraine for Russia’s war crimes

Having committed international crimes through its war of aggression and atrocities against Ukraine, Russia is using abductions and torture to try to blame Ukraine for its crimes
