Commissioners found torture in all occupied provinces of Ukraine
Women representing families of Ukrainian prisoners of war and missing persons stage a demonstration in front of the United Nations offices in Geneva, on Oct. 29 amid the Russian invasion in Ukraine.Russia’s torture of Ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war is a crime against humanity, U.N.-backed human rights experts said Thursday.
Russia’s U.N. Mission said it had no comment on the news conference or the report by the commission, which is appointed by the Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Council. He said the commission identified further evidence that violent practices common in Russian detention facilities were also practised in similar facilities in Russian-occupied areas in eastern Ukraine, he said.
Ukrainians in detention facilities in Ukraine and in Russia also reported “a brutal so-called admission procedure,” Gover said. Commission member Pablo de Greiff told reporters it now has evidence of the Russian organizational structure that co-ordinated and enabled torture in the detention facilities.
