They keep our people underground. We must act, says the war crimes investigator

--

ukov this week she drank to a meeting with candidates for the European Parliament, she wants to meet with those who have a chance to get into the European Parliament. There are 217 political vz. I want to remind the politicians of their past and talk to them about the principle of helping Ukraine, he writes in the interview. The team from the Czech parliamentary parties was not only approached by the SPD, the ANO movement, according to the leaders, rejected one.

What exactly do you want to discuss with politicians?
We want to remind them of the situation in which the Ukraine, and in particular the Russian-occupied Crimea, is a human first. So we will talk about specific hostages, kidnapped children deported to Russia and Belarus, or about political dignitaries. You are in charge of j.

What cases are you working on now?
Change him to Iryna Danylovyová, who worked as humanity’s first lawyer and, in an emergency, as a nurse. Among other things, she wrote articles about the situation in the occupied country, about escapes from the hospital where she worked.

For this, she was sentenced to 6 years and 11 months in prison. She was tortured in custody. They suffocated her, toiled in sub-zero temperatures, because of which she got a ring in her ear. No one helped her, she became so deaf to the lion’s ear. When her condition worsened, she was taken to Russia, where Dr.

Tetiana Ukovov

  • He works in the Ukrainian organization Human Rights Center ZMINA.
  • I have previous work experience from the Ukrainian Parliamentary Commissioner for Human Rights, the Embassy of Ukraine in Germany and the European Parliament.
  • She received a master’s degree in human rights from the University of Valencia. Tetiana has long-term cooperation with UN, EU, Council of Europe or OSCE institutions, as well as with foreign governmental and non-governmental actors.
  • Their goal is to bring to justice the perpetrators of capital crimes, crimes against humanity and persecutors of people who are politically active in the so far occupied lands of Ukraine.

Is it the norm for Russians not to provide basic medical aid to political parties?
Yes, without a doubt. The same fate befell, for example, Demil Zakharov and Kostiantyn Yring, who, like Iryna, fell ill during their stay in prison. Not one of these politicians spoke to God.

For what reasons do people live more brainless than political prisoners?
There is enough, sometimes it looks absurd. This is, for example, the case of Leniia Umerova, who worked as a manager of one of the social media outlets in Kyiv.

She went to Crimea to visit her father, who was ill with cancer. But they stopped her at the border. When they found out that she was Ukrainian, they arrested her and took her to a detention center near Moscow. Terror her twenty years for a pawn.

But it was also the other way around, some people were sent from other regions to Crimea, where they went on false charges. This, in turn, is the ppad of Iryna Horobtsov, ajaka and volunteer from Khersonsk region. The Russians kidnapped her after the invasion, and now she is on trial, so she will be held as a pawn.

He can go to prison at any time

Where do you get information about kidnapped people?
Especially from their families, who keep in touch with them. We communicate with various non-profit organizations such as Krymsk solidarita, which takes information out of occupied countries and tries to get it out into the world.

After more than two years, is there anything that surprises you in your work?
Obas still has to wonder how many people the Russian regime will oppress even after those two years. Why do they need such a mass of people in the cellars? I am so surprised that even though it has been ten years since the occupation of Crimea, we still haven’t come up with a functioning mechanism for bridging political ties. We have exchanged only a few prisoners with Russia, they are a fool of the big press.

Politick vze was like that Alexei Navalny. How did you perceive him? Did anything change after his death?
As I said before, the Russians are known for their take-it-and-kill politics. We did not support Navalny in any way and his death did not affect us, he did not support Ukraine or humanity. He wanted the best for Russia, Russia without Putin, but not to stop the aggression.

Among other things, after the invasion in 2014, the mole came to the conclusion that it was not like a sandwich that could be taken there and back. I would prefer if we talked about other political figures.

So tell me about someone else.
I was very touched by the case of an English citizen named Mariano Garcia Catayud. He is seventy-five years old and went to Ukraine as a volunteer, among others in November 2022. He has been in solitary confinement for two years, and Rusov lost a hundred teeth because of his beating. No one is talking about him.

How was the working week of the first human?
I don’t have many days, because I travel a lot around the world for work. Not long ago I went to business in Vdna, most recently in Brussels and now I’m in Prague. I’ll be going to Taiwan in full soon.

My team deals with the documentation of major crimes and crimes against humanity, we go to liberated areas, or we use open sources and gather evidence, which we then present to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

So how do you feel about Putin and his regime?
It is a long-term job and the results are not visible immediately. In The Hague, thanks to us and our partners, they issued those arrest warrants, and Putin, among other things, cannot travel to many European countries, so I think we are pretty much asleep.

So I can’t even take Rusov as a threat to prisoners, am I right?
Yes, I too will face the threat of imprisonment and torture in Russia for this interview. The Russians have developed a mechanism for persecuting active people. On the list of uneducated are a newspaper, a human rights activist and many others who rebel against their regime and support Ukraine.

When you are on it and you are close to them, it is only a bad time when they will come to your house, take you away and torture you or kill you. Thus, the organization in which I work, without government and focusing on human rights, is run as a terrorist organization in Russia.

Center for Oban Freedom CHANGE

  • The organization ZMINA (Zmna in Czech) is a branch of Human Rights House Crimea and Ukraine 5AM Coalition. The core of the organization is the defense of human values ​​and the creation of an environment in which human values ​​are still present.
  • ZMINA received the OSCE Democracy Defender Award 2022 “for an extraordinary contribution to the promotion and protection of fundamental freedoms and human rights in non-government and government-controlled countries in Ukraine.

Russian propaganda was always there

You mentioned that you also follow the fate of Ukrainian women. How did you manage to catch up?
There is a lot of it, in occupied countries, for example, they are not allowed to study in their native language. Rusov is not in Ukrainian, he does not allow the children to learn about the history of their nation, about culture and so on. Even if they wanted to, don’t have daily access to literature, because Rusov eats it. You don’t even have access to media or the internet, everything is blocked.

What kind of propaganda do you get?
They have a patriotic lesson in the circle, they learn about great Russia, sometimes the soldiers also go to the lesson and tell the children how great it is to fight for their homeland, i.e. for Russia. There are photos of children who went to the front in the 1980s and died in the kolkhoz. They are celebrated like the most heroic ones.

Russians occupy Crimea at the age of ten, who abducted children so they don’t even know what Ukraine is. The indoctrination is complete, the children are adopted, they have other names.

During her lawyer’s trip to Prague, Tetiana met with candidates for the European Parliament to inform them of the current situation with respect to human rights in Crimea and to discuss the possibilities of support from European institutions.

If they move around the house, is it possible to work with them on reintegration?
We are preparing for it. We prepare, for example, our teachers. And Crimea will be liberated, they will have to fight propaganda and teach these young people the real history. It’s going to be confusing, but I know the experts can handle it.

The propaganda about Russia resonated in Estonia the case surrounding the Voice of Europe website. What do you think the BIS revealed about Russian influence in Europe?
Russia has continued disinformation since the end of the Cold War and has spread its propaganda throughout Europe. It never really stopped. But no one paid much attention to it, everyone thought Mr.

But if they dig deeper, pay politicians and look for holes in the system where they could place their propaganda. It’s voodoo around. And we have only just begun to develop mechanisms to combat it.

It’s fine?
It’s going very slowly, Rusov has a takka vude approach. A few days ago, for example, their representative spoke at the OSCE plenary session (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, editor’s note) about how Russian children in Europe suffer because their peers bully them.

It is clear from such expressions that there is still no clear line between freedom of speech and disinformation campaigns. Some people are free from evil thoughts, we should not forget that.

Speaking of propaganda, what did you think of Putin’s interview with Tucker Carlson?
According to me, he went to that interview for only two reasons: his salary and his pension. It is possible that he received something from the Kremlin for this, but it is certain that he received international acclaim. Before the interview I didn’t know him, after it the whole world was talking about him. But even he later realized that it wasn’t the best idea.
