• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russia labels Crimean Solidarity, lawyers & journalists 'foreign agents' in new attempt to crush Crimean Tatar human rights movement

Russia has dropped all pretence after its torture, threats, administrative arrests and massive sentences on fabricated charges failed to silence the vital Crimean Solidarity movement

• War crimes

On June 26, the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture

Torture is one of the most widespread crimes committed during Russia’s ongoing full-scale invasion of Ukraine. According to the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group (KHPG), nearly everyone who comes under Russian control and has direct contact with Russian military personnel, government officials, law enforcement officers, or representatives of the occupation authorities or proxy administrations is subjected to torture or other forms of inhuman treatment.

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Medical torture to the end against Crimean Tatar political prisoner with malignant tumour and his family

Both Russian doctors and judges are complicit, either by omission or through direct steps, in Russia’s persecution of a Crimean Solidarity activist for his refusal to remain silent about Russian repression.

• War crimes

Mariupol children brainwashed into thanking the Russian invaders for ‘saving’ them

Russia's lies and attempts to blame Ukraine for its own war crimes may be too brazen to be effective where adults are concerned. They are, however, terrifyingly effectively in the case of small children

• War crimes

Russia cripples tortured 23-year-old Ukrainian POW then convicts him of ‘terrorism’ for defending Ukraine

Bohdan Trofimiuk was just 19 when taken prisoner by the Russian invaders. He has been deprived since then of medical care, including for the torture which almost killed him and left him unable to walk, and has been sentenced on surreal 'terrorism' charges

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

17-year sentences in Russian captivity for refusing to betray Ukraine

• War crimes

Savage sentence against Ukrainian from occupied Luhansk oblast on secret ‘spying’ charges

It seems likely that Volodymyr Lukashenko and several other Ukrainians sentenced on identical charges have been imprisoned for a long time, with charges probably laid shortly before the so-called 'trial'

• War crimes

Ukrainian teenager who needs vital medication sentenced to 5.5 years for negative comments about Russian invaders

Vitaliy Trofymchuk was just 15 when the Russians invaded. He was arrested four years later for two social media comments expressing disgust for the Russian terrorist state and Putin

• War crimes

Russia stages ‘international terrorism trial’ against three Kherson men for resisting its invasion in 2022

The show trial now underway against Oleksandr Kruchynenko, Mykola Semeniuk and his brother Serhiy, is the latest in a number of cynical farces where the Russian invaders call Ukrainians resisting their armed aggression 'terrorists'

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

Pensioners and mothers targeted for Russia’s ‘treason trial’ terror in occupied Ukraine

The hunger strike that Niyara Ersmambetova has been forced to declare highlights the brutality of all these sentences, including the latest against Ivan Chorny who is 72 and would be unlikely to survive 13 years’ captivity
