• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Brutal cruelty against Crimean Tatar mother and her family in Russia’s witch hunt for ‘Ukrainian spies’

Niyara Ersmambetova is one of an ever-increasing number of women on occupied territory whom Russia has abducted and accused of secret ‘treason’ charges

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Nine years in Russian captivity after Russia’s ‘shoddiest’ show trial and no end in sight?

Three Ukrainians were seized in November 2016 because Russia's FSB wanted to stage a new 'Crimean saboteur' show trial. All remain imprisoned, serving horrific sentences despite evidently absurd charges and sloppily fabricated 'evidence'

Telling omissions in Russia's show trial claiming Ukraine’s use of 'chemical weapons of mass destruction'

Russia used Diliaver Kurshutov, and an elderly couple from occupied Melitopol, for bizarre claims involving chemical weapons supposedly used by the USA and other NATO countries

Russian prison identified where Ukrainian journalist Victoria Roshchyna and Yevhen Matvieiev died after being tortured

Victoria Roshchyna’s transfer to the prison in Perm region was tantamount to torture given her emaciation and the torture she had endured. 63-year-old Dniprorudne Mayor Yevhen Matvyeyev was effectively beaten to death

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russians accused of killing Donetsk oblast couple, seizing their child as human shield

While not the first time that Russia has used civilians as human shields, this war crime, if verified, is especially monstrous as the young girl was seized after probably witnessing her parents being killed

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

New trial ordered after glaring legal flaw exposed in Russia’s persecution of Crimean Tatar journalists & activists

Russian courts have demonstrated total contempt for international law and the right to a fair trial. The violation of Russian legislation in all of these politically motivated ‘trials’ is, at least, harder to flagrantly ignore

Young Ukrainian from occupied Donetsk oblast sentenced to 16.5 years for social media post

Russia is mass-producing surreal sentences based on cynical abuse of terrorism and ‘treason’ legislation

Russia sentences Ukrainian POW Ihor Kim twice to 24 and 27 years for defending Mariupol in 2022

The charges on both occasions were grotesque, with the alleged 'confession' almost certainly extracted through torture

Russian soldiers murder three pensioners in occupied Kherson oblast

64-year-old Olha Hladka, her husband Victor and their neighbour Victor Nadeiev were all shot and killed by Russian soldiers, the latest of many victims of Russian lawlessness and impunity
