• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Vital Crimean Solidarity human rights movement forced to terminate activities after Russia labels it a ‘foreign agent’

Russia will win if, by escalating terror against Crimean Solidarity and all those on occupied territory whom it can abduct, torture, imprison or kill, the world goes silence on its repression. It will continue to fail if we add our solidarity

Mass ‘treason / spying trials’ and huge sentences for supporting Ukraine under Russian occupation

Neither age, nor state of health make any difference for Russia’s conveyor-belt ‘trials’ on ‘treason’ or ‘spying’ charges on occupied territory

Melitopol mother of three sentenced to 18 years because of successful Ukrainian strike against Russian invaders

Had Russia genuinely had evidence to back their charges against Oksana Ptakhina, they would not need to have held her incommunicado for three years and without charges for almost that long

12-year sentence for Ukrainian patriotism against 63-year-old pensioner in Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia oblast

The Russian invaders are continuing to pass effective death sentences against men and women in their sixties or seventies for donations to Ukraine’s defenders

Russian invaders sentence Ukrainians to 6 and 16 years for defending their own country many years ago

The sentence demonstrates the lawlessness and brazen methods which Russia is increasingly using to try to rewrite the facts about its invasion of Ukraine

Bedridden “Azov man” in Russia was convicted of “terrorism”

. . . For the fifth year in a row, Inna talks to her son every day, holding his photograph in front of her. She tells him about his younger brothers, asks him to hold on, and — most importantly! — survive. “Azovian” Bohdan is far away: in Russian captivity. Confined to bed after several shell shocks and severe beatings. Sentenced by a Russian court to 16 years in prison.

Ukrainian political prisoner tortured to fabricate new charges rather than free him after 8 years of Russian captivity

Serhiy Buhaichuk spent eight years of his life in Russian captivity on charges almost certainly fabricated because he was Ukrainian

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

55-year-old Ukrainian from occupied Crimea sentenced to 17 years on FSB-fabricated ‘attempted treason’ charges
