• War crimes

Kherson IT specialist abducted, tortured and sentenced in Russian-occupied Ukraine to 11 years for trying to get his family to safety

Ivan Kozlov was first held incommunicado, accused only of ‘opposing’ Russia’s war of aggression against his country. Then they came up with ‘spying’ charges almost certainly based on a ‘confession’ obtained through torture

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

Russia moves to confiscate possessions for condemning its war against Ukraine or for opposing occupation of Crimea

A new bill may for the moment be another method of terrorizing people into silence, however the inclusion of a norm already used to prosecute Crimean Tatars and other Ukrainians for calling Crimea Ukraine is, at least, ominous

• War crimes

Russia had at least 28 torture chambers in Kharkiv oblast, imprisoning and torturing even schoolchildren

At least 13 civilians were effectively tortured to death while parts of Kharkiv oblast were under Russian occupation, with others still missing or known to be in Russian captivity

• War crimes

Openly faked ‘evidence in Russia’s ‘trial’ of tortured Ukrainian abducted from occupied Melitopol

Yaroslav Zhuk, a volunteer from occupied Melitopol, has been imprisoned since June 2022, with Russia bringing grotesque charges, based solely on ‘confessions’ obtained through torture

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

Moscow revives Stalin’s SMERSH to hunt down resistance in occupied Ukraine

The announced hunt for ‘saboteurs and spies’ is the latest form of terror against Ukrainians living in their own country and persecuted for as little as demonstrating the Ukrainian flag or saying ‘Glory to Ukraine!”

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

Russia bans greeting ‘Glory to Ukraine’, labelling it ‘Nazi’

Russia has formalized its grotesque attempt to justify prosecution for patriotic songs and greetings used to imprison or fine Ukrainians in occupied Crimea since 2022

• Publicistics

At a crossroads

We will manage to survive only if our resistance to this sinister Russian gloom remains nationwide. Each of us, tens of millions of Ukrainian citizens, wherever we are, must feel and understand that our victory is impossible without active and selfless personal participation in this struggle.

• Freedom of expression

‘Ukraine is not Russia’: Judge expresses opposing view over pensioner’s prison sentence for a ‘like’

Arkady Bushchenko, a Supreme Court judge, has issued an opposing view after the cassation court upheld a prison sentence against a 70-year-old pensioner for ‘liking’ a post about a Russian military pilot

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

Crimean Solidarity civic journalist Rustem Sheikhaliev denied urgently needed medical care in rat-infested Russian prison

Crimean Solidarity civic journalist Rustem Sheikhaliev may well be suffering from a life-threatening condition with the same notorious prison that helped torture political prisoner Dzhemil Gafarov to death refusing to provide any treatment

• Publicistics

A Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group successful action in 1991

A rare human rights story in which all sides won.

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

Russia raids Jehovah’s Witnesses in occupied Mariupol, claiming they ‘finance Ukraine’s Armed Forces’

It was always a matter of time before Russia began its armed raids and arrests of peaceful worshippers on any occupied Ukrainian territory, however the added charges are especially cynical

• War crimes

Ukrainian veteran sentenced to six years in Russia for 'a crime of a theoretical nature' - defending Ukraine in 2016

The charges against Volodymyr Linnyk could not have been more surreal in their lawlessness and sheer cynicism
