• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Death sentence without witnesses in Russia’s latest conveyor-belt trial of Crimean Tatar political prisoners

Not only were the sentences particularly brutal, but they were handed down without warning, thus making it impossible for family and human rights activists to attend or, at least, stand outside in solidarity

• War crimes

Russia stages third ‘trial’ of Ukrainian POW, adds 2 years to illegal 18-year sentence for comments about Russian war crimes

Anton Saikhiev has been imprisoned since May 2022, with Russia meting out particularly savage reprisals against defenders of Mariupol

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Ukrainian sentenced to five years for writing that Russian-occupied territory is part of Ukraine

Volodymyr Dobriyan is one of an ever-increasing number of Ukrainians sentenced to real terms of imprisonment for expressing opposition to Russia's aggression against Ukraine

• War crimes

Russia passes life sentence on ‘treason’ charges against Ukrainian accused of acts of resistance

Even if Oleksandr Skrabunov did have anything to do with the killing of a representative of the occupying power, the latter was a legitimate target and this had nothing to do with 'terrorism' or 'treason'

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

71-year-old Ukrainian patriot Halyna Dovhopola unbroken after 7 years in Russian captivity, but “won’t survive another such winter”

With Russia merciless in its treatment of even the oldest Ukrainian political prisoners, publicity is urgently needed for Halyna Dovhopola's situation

• War crimes

55-year-old Crimean seized at Russian airport and tortured to fabricate treason charges over donations to Ukraine

Victoria Serhieieva is the latest of a number of Ukrainian citizens effectively abducted and held on fabricated pretexts while the FSB concocted surreal ‘treason’ charges

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russia’s fake ‘secret witness’ exposes fabricated charges against five Crimean Tatar political prisoners

While tragically unlikely to change the course of a predetermined ‘trial’, it is telling that the key ‘prosecution witness’ demonstrated that he did not know the defendants

• War crimes

France arrests pro-Russian militant for war crimes over torture of Ukrainian hostages at Izolyatsia prison in occupied Donetsk

Ukraine will not be seeking Yevhen Brazhnikov's extradition but will provide any assistance required in a trial that is extremely welcome, if belated

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Mystery ‘treason’ charges against abducted 63-year-old Oleksandr Osadchy for supporting Ukraine in occupied Crimea

Oleksandr Osadchy's grandfather was executed during the Soviet Terror in 1937. 90 years later, the Russian occupiers seized Oleksandr, held him incommunicado for over a year and may or may not have passed a horrific 18-year 'sentence'

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russia passes effective life sentence against 61-year-old Crimean for a video of zero interest

Despite propaganda hype, the video might just as well have been of cormorants in the Kerch Strait yet Ihor Boiko was sentenced to 18 years

• War crimes

Help to #FreeIrynaHorobtsova - seized by the Russians on her birthday, sentenced to 10.5 years for Ukrainian patriotism

Iryna could have left Kherson after the Russian invasion. She stayed, helping her compatriots and openly demonstrating her opposition to the invasion, for which she is paying a huge price

• War crimes

Yevhen Zakharov: ‘In no country have I seen such an awareness and vocal support for Ukraine as in Sweden’

In mid-May, the project, funded by the Swedish Institute (SI) and implemented by the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group in partnership with the Swedish organization Östgruppen för demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter, is coming to an end.
