• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Unending brutality against Crimean Tatar civic journalist sentenced to 15 years for reporting Russian repression

Eighty years after the Soviet regime executed Seiran Saliyev’s great grandfather for refusing to be cowered, Russia came up with chillingly similar claims against Saliev and other Crimean Solidarity journalists and activists

• War crimes

After fake ‘release’, Russia’s FSB re-abduct Donbas hostages first seized and tortured in 2017

At least fifty hostages seized long before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine remain imprisoned in occupied Donbas, with the fate of many others unknown

• War crimes

Russia’s ‘strategy on fighting extremism’ is a threat to all Ukrainians on occupied territory

The updated strategy not only treats any opposition to Russian occupation as ‘extremist’, but also makes it clear that Russia is waging its war against Ukrainian history, culture and identity

• War crimes

Russia passes 14-year death sentence against abducted 61-year-old Ukrainian with cancer

In dismissing the prosecutor’s claims, Mykola Oliynyk spoke of his abhorrence of war, of his not wanting his children and grandchildren to mourn him, or of having to mourn them

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

Over 1200 religious organizations closed or driven out of Russian-occupied Crimea

While Russia began its systematic attack on independent religious communities in Crimea in 2014, all of the same methods of repression and terror have now been extended to all parts of Ukraine under occupation

• War crimes

Ukrainian POW tortured and ‘sentenced’ to 24 years for Russia’s rewrite of the facts about its bombing of Mariupol

We know from released POWs what kind of horrific torture Ruslan Minahurov endured to extract his supposed ‘confession’ to precisely those war crimes which Russia committed against the civilian population in Mariupol

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

Russia imprisons at least 50 Crimean Tatars, other Ukrainians in revenge for Crimean civic blockade

Neither support for the legal blockade of illegally occupied Crimea, nor the Noman Çelebicihan Battalion’s ultimate objective, namely the end to Russian occupation, made its activities illegal, unlike those of the aggressor state in staging such ‘trials’

• War crimes   • Events

Russia charges Memorial head with ‘justifying terrorism’ for calling persecuted Ukrainian POWs political prisoners

Russia first claimed that Ukrainians defending their country were ‘terrorists’ trying to ‘violently seize power’, and is now bringing ‘terrorism’ charges against Sergei Davidis for rightly calling the POWs political prisoners

• War crimes

DNA used to identify Ukrainian civilians abducted and murdered by the Russian invaders

The three civilians abducted in 2022 were killed in Russian captivity, as were Yevhen Matvieiev, Mayor of Dniprorudne, 27-year-old journalist Victoria Roshchyna, and, almost certainly, others

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Huge sentences without a crime. 10 years of Russia’s conveyor belt of religious and political persecution in occupied Crimea

Russia's FSB forced ‘retrials’ of Crimean Tatar political prisoner Ruslan Zeytullaev to ensure the right paperwork. All of the terror and repression seen in Crimea is already or will soon be applied on all Ukrainian territory under Russian occupation.

• War crimes

Tortured by the Russians, abandoned back home in Ukraine

Yury Armash may well have saved the lives of many Ukrainian POWs and civilian hostages, and his treatment since he was freed seems particularly shocking. So too are the obstacles former civilian hostages encounter in proving they were held by the Russians

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea   • Events

Ukrainian political prisoner imprisoned for 10 years in Russia’s revenge for Euromaidan is 'released', yet not freed

Andriy Kolomiyets has served a 10-year sentence on legally absurd and politically motivated charges, and it is vital, perhaps with the help of a third country, that he is freed and not held indefinitely in a ‘deportation centre’
