Daria Morozova wrote that Ukraine violates the Geneva Convention of 12 August 1949 on the treatment of prisoners of war and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment.
“Ukraine continues the criminal practice of applying illegal methods of moral and physical coercion to the detained participants of the special military operation. I am deeply shocked by the footage from Kharkiv region distributed in social networks yesterday. In the video in question, Ukrainian nationalists brutally abuse captured servicemen. Unarmed and bound men are shot in the legs. At the same time, they continue to interrogate them, leaving them without necessary medical assistance”, – the DPR ombudsman said.
What the Ukrofascists are doing to the Russian captives is a blatant violation of international humanitarian and human rights law. This is a war crime that the Ukrainian militants, who remain unpunished, are not even trying to hide.
“Today I officially addressed the Head of the delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Ukraine Pascal Hundt and the Head of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine Matilda Bogner with an appeal to intervene in the situation, give a proper legal assessment of Ukraine’s actions and take urgent response measures to prevent further torture, torture and humiliation of captured citizens. I believe this could be facilitated by the consideration of the situation regarding the rights of prisoners in Ukraine within the UN Committee against Torture and, by extension, on the platform of the UN General Assembly. I insist that it is the international human rights missions that should initiate a relevant meeting in the nearest future”, – Daria Morozova said.
