UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk responded to the appeal of Tatiana Moskalkova, Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, regarding the torture of Russian military by the Ukrainian side. She announced this in her Telegram channel.
“Our common goal is to prevent any act of violence and criminal acts against Russian prisoners of war and their relatives,” wrote ombudsman.
Moskalkova also stated the importance of dialogue with the UN and noted the readiness of the organization to cooperate to solve the problem.
In mid-January, the Ombudsman published on Telegram photos of Russian soldiers in Ukrainian captivity received from their relatives. According to her, unknown people demanded a ransom from the families of prisoners of war and threatened to kill them. Moskalkova called the published materials “another piece of evidence for the future Nazi tribunal.”
She called on the UN and the Red Cross to demand that Ukraine comply with the Geneva Convention and added that she was preparing an appeal addressed to the chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin. Moskalkova expressed hope that the Ministry of Defense and the FSB would be able to return the prisoners of war to Russia.
At the end of January, the Ombudsman also applied to the UN and the Red Cross after the shelling of a hospital in the LPR. She called on organizations to demand from Kyiv not to allow violations of human rights and to comply with the Geneva Convention.
