• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Demand Russia obeys its own laws and releases blind Ukrainian political prisoner Oleksandr Sizikov!

Please sign the petition and circulate it further. Russia’s imprisonment of Oleksandr Sizikov is in clear violation of Russia’s own legislation and publicity could just help at least get Oleksandr released as part of a prisoner exchange.

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russia fabricates charges to imprison Crimean Tatar activists and as weapon for deportation from their homeland

Russia is using an absurd and internationally condemned supreme court ruling as pretext for accusing Ukrainian prisoners of war of ‘terrorism’ for defending their country against invaders

Three years in a penal isolator

That's how much time the Kremlin prisoner and Euromaidan activist Volodymyr Yakymenko spent in a detention center over the past eight and a half years of captivity. At the end of November, he was returned to a detention center for another 5 months.

Brutal 12-year ‘treason’ sentences against Crimean woman with MS and her daughter, seized while her baby was in intensive care

‘In the evening, your flag was hanging. In the morning, I look—it is our flag…’

These are the simple words of a night watchman at a cinema in Chortkiv—on 22 January 1973, he was interrogated by the KGB. For the impossible had happened: in the midst of a Ukrainian city in the era of Soviet stagnation, blue and yellow flags flew—over the market, the cinema, the teacher training college, and the school. On the Day of Unity of Ukraine, we tell the story of the young men who organised this action.

Russia sentences three Ukrainian women to 12 years for supporting Ukraine’s defenders

Olha Hulchak, Olena Penza and Yulia Stanika are among an ever-increasing number of Ukrainians sentenced to terms of imprisonment longer than those that murderers or violent criminals get for their patriotism

High-ranking post in Russia for soldier accused of grave war crimes in Ukraine

Sergei Karasyov is the latest of many individuals identified by Ukraine, western investigators and media for their believed role in atrocities during the occupation of Kyiv oblast, whom Russia treats as 'heroes'

Monstrous sentences demanded against nine men abducted from Kherson and savagely tortured for insane Russian show trial

The charges against the men bear no scrutiny, but their absurdity, as well as the clear indications of torture, are clearly of no concern to the ‘judges’

Russian sentenced to life for the killing of Ukrainian prisoners of war in Kharkiv oblast

The court did not take into account Sergei Tuzhilov’s claim that he was “carrying out orders” when he shot dead one Ukrainian prisoner of war and instructed a subordinate to kill another
