• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Crimean Solidarity journalist convicted of ‘abusing freedom of media’ in posts about Crimean Tatar political prisoners

These administrative prosecutions are clearly, and ominously, aimed at intimidating courageous journalist and human rights defender Lutfiye Zudiyeva

• Voices of war   • Interview

‘Words cannot express what we experienced,’ — a resident of the village of Zahaltsi

Olena Shevchenko lives in the village of Zahaltsi, Kyiv Region. Together with her grandchildren, the woman endured several weeks under endless shelling. People were hiding in the basement, and everything outside was on fire.

• War crimes

Horrific sentences against Ukrainians accused of ‘international terrorism’ for opposing Russian occupation

Little is known about Vitaly Rastorhuev and Volodymyr Kryvtsun except that they were abducted from Berdiansk with one of the men tortured into providing a ‘confession’ to match the predetermined charge

• Freedom of conscience and religion   • Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russian occupation ‘court’ convicts Jehovah’s Witness of ‘extremism’ for reading excerpts from the Bible

The sentence was, thankfully, lower than that demanded by the ‘prosecutor’ against Maksym Zinchenko for peacefully practising his faith

• War crimes

Ukrainian children brainwashed in Russia’s ‘Youth Army’ into wanting to fight against Ukraine

Russia is not necessarily succeeding, but the aim is chilling - to destroy the children's Ukrainian identity and get them to want to 'defend' those invading their country

• other   • Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Crimean Tatar political prisoner diagnosed with tuberculosis, other life-threatening conditions contracted in Russian captivity

Tofik Abdulgaziev is no longer in a critical care ward, however he is suffering many life-threatening conditions, with these effectively part of Russia’s reprisals for his human rights activism

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Solo ‘trials’ after Russia stages mass arrests claiming Ukrainian attack on Crimean occupation officials

There are only videoed ‘confessions’ almost certainly extracted through torture to prove the claims that six (or seven) men were planning ‘terrorist attacks’

• War crimes

Russian invaders turn Kherson oblast culture centre into torture chamber for ‘unreliable’ Ukrainians

At least five Ukrainian civilians are known to be held and almost certainly tortured at Odradivka, with the Russians having tortured at least two of their victims, including a Ukrainian Orthodox priest to death over recent months

• War crimes

Russia incriminates itself through ‘trial’ of Ukrainian abducted 7 years ago in occupied Donbas

The secrecy this time is not only because the charges are absurd, but to hide the inconvenient detail that Oleksandr Korol has been held hostage since 2017

• Voices of war   • Interview

‘I saw a plane drop a bomb on my house’

Oksana Halchenko is a resident of Borodianka. She says that the Russians fired at houses from tanks if they saw someone in the window. The woman evacuated after her home was destroyed. Her sister spent a month under occupation, refusing the “attractive” offers of the occupiers to evacuate to Russia.

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russian traffic police used for enforced disappearances and FSB terror in occupied Crimea

Likely involvement in the enforced disappearance of Crimean Tatar activist Ervin Ibragimov is the most chilling, but not the only way in which Russia’s traffic police are complicit in Russia’s crimes

• War crimes

Leaving Ukraine unable to defend its skies makes Russian invasion of other countries a question of time

Russia does indeed pose both an existential threat to Ukraine, and a threat to international security, yet the carnage and relentless attacks on critical infrastructure are made possible by the blocking of urgently needed military aid
