• War crimes

Russia stages new ‘trial’ of savagely tortured Ukrainian partisan already sentenced to 26 years

The charges against Hryhory Sinchenko, Volodymyr Makarenko and Dmytro Palenko are grotesque with Russia’s torture of Sinchenko dating back to long before its full-scale invasion of Ukraine

• War crimes

First arrest under new Russian law over an Internet search for Ukraine’s Azov Regiment

The move is particularly chilling as the 20-year-old student was detained just hours after browsing the Internet

• Access to information   • Analytics

The spectre of communism? No, now it’s the spectre of the Firewall

Over a quarter of a century, the Great Firewall (GFW) has evolved from a local gatekeeper into a global export: a Chinese firm has packaged it into modules, ready for deployment in a matter of weeks.

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

Crimean woman sentenced to 5.5 years for social media criticism of Russia's war against Ukraine

Although Kateryna Fomenko was charged with 'circulating military fakes', all of the comments first used for administrative prosecutions were critical of Russia's war of aggression, but in no way false

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Sentenced to die in immense pain for religious independence in Russian-occupied Crimea

Lenur Khalilov is gravely ill and Russia’s rearrest is both a death sentence in his case and a clear indication that even Russian legislation will not apply in the case of Crimean Tatar and other Ukrainian political prisoners

• War crimes

Russian solider sentenced to life for gunning down an unarmed Ukrainian POW

Despite the mounting number of Russian executions of Ukrainians surrendering, this was the first such trial, with the soldier’s commander having confirmed they were instructed not to take prisoners

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Young Crimean mother of two abducted by the FSB and held incommunicado for over a year

No charges have been laid against Sakha Manhubi, with the FSB not even admitting that she is in their custody, with the young woman one of an ever-increasing number of women being targeted in occupied Crimea

• War crimes

Russians murder civilians waving a white flag as UN report slams mass-scale and systematic attacks as crimes against humanity

Russia uses the same methods over a vast area, with it clear that civilians are deliberately targeted, in the hope of driving Ukrainians from their territory

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

13-year sentence on ‘treason’ charges for pro-Ukrainian graffiti in Russian-occupied Crimea

Ksenia Svietlishyna was hunted by the notorious Crimean SMERSH for her pro-Ukrainian messages. There are very serious grounds for doubting the other charges used as excuse for this appalling judicial travesty

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russia defies its own puppet court to further torment blind and disabled political prisoner

Russia’s reprisals against Oleksandr Sizikov have been relentless and brutal, with blindness never treated as impediment to surreal charges and planted literature which Sizikov could not read
