• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

58-year-old Sevastopol activist sentenced to 15 years for opposing Russia’s war against Ukraine

Russia has, as always, concealed virtually everything about its fast-track ‘treason trial’ against Oksana Senedzhuk, but there is every reason to believe that the charges and horrific sentence are politically motivated

Russia blocks YouTube and VPN in occupied Ukraine

Together with aggressive indoctrination and propaganda, Russia is seeking to impose a full information blockade both at home and on all illegally occupied Ukrainian territory

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

Mustafa Dzhemilev: Russia’s occupation of Crimea spells the death of the Crimean Tatar people and forced exile

Russia would almost certainly use any 'peace deal' as opportunity to prepare for further aggression, while Crimean Tatars and other Ukrainians under Russian occupation would continue to endure mounting terror and repression

Russia stages fake ‘saboteur’ trial after abducting 56-year-old Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant employee

While systematically bombing Ukrainian electrical infrastructure, Russia is claiming, almost certainly without evidence that 56-year-old Natalia Shulha was part of a ‘plot’ to damage an electricity pylon

Ukrainian sentenced to 22 years as ‘rail partisan’ in Russian-occupied Crimea

As well as specific incriminating details about this ‘trial’, it is worth remembering Russia’s track record in abducting and torturing Crimeans, and threatening to kill them or hurt their families in order to extract ‘confessions’

Russian invaders abduct 53-year-old Ukrainian and sentence her to 9 years on insane ‘international terrorism’ charges

The charges laid by the aggressor state against Iryna Kulish were very obviously fabricated, as well as extraordinarily cynical and lawless given that Russia is illegally occupying her Ukrainian home

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Crimean Solidarity journalist Rustem Osmanov and three civic activists are facing huge sentences without any crime on the basis of a ‘secret witness’ already used by the FSB for huge sentences in over ten other cases

Invaders gun down more unarmed Ukrainian POWs as proof mounts that such war crimes are Russian state policy

The number of killings this year alone, as well as intercepted calls ordering such executions, point to such flagrant war crimes being part of Kremlin policy

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russia confirms revenge sentences against savagely tortured Crimean Tatar cousins, seized with Nariman Dzhelyal

All of the perpetrators need to be identified and punished for their role in this horrific travesty of justice against Asan Akhtemov and his cousin, Aziz Akhtemov

Abducted Kherson activist sentenced for ‘spying for Ukraine’ while in Russian captivity denied vital medical treatment

Russia’s ‘spying’ charges are as cynical as the initial claim that Iryna Horobtsova was being held for opposing Russia’s invasion, but the charges do reach new depths of lawlessness

• Implementation of European Law

When a Scalpel Becomes a Kitchen Knife: How Ukrainian Courts Skillfully Distort ECtHR Practice

The legal positions developed by the most prominent professionals in Europe are sometimes used inappropriately, sometimes out of place, and sometimes simply in a different context than intended.
