UN reports over 95% of Ukrainian prisoners of war were tortured in Russia

#Ukrainian prisoners of war are #tortured from the very first interrogation. They are beaten with metal rods and sticks, stripped naked and severely electrocuted. This is horrible. This is undoubtedly the worst thing I’ve seen in 20 years of my career while visiting the POWs on behalf of the UN.

This happened to more than 95% of Ukrainian POWs. These are #WarCrimes

Ombudsman appeals to UN, Red Cross over alleged #execution of Ukrainian POW by Russia

A photo, which is circulating on social media, shows the body of a person with his head and limbs cut off. It is unknown when the photo was taken. The Kyiv Independent was unable to verify it.

Reports of Ukrainian #POWs being #tortured or #killed while in Russian captivity have been surfacing since the start of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. As of June, the Prosecutor General's Office said 28 criminal investigations were underway regarding the execution of 62 Ukrainian POWs.

"This is not just a violation of the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, this is the behavior of monsters," Lubinets said.

The ombudsman asked international organizations to record another human rights violation by Russia and called on Ukraine's law enforcement to verify the identity of the killed person and the fact of the crime.

#Russian occupiers likely cut off Ukrainian prisoner's limbs and head – Ukraine's #HumanRights Commissioner

A photo has been posted online that appears to show the body of a Ukrainian prisoner whose head and limbs have been cut off by the Russians.

This isn’t just a violation of the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War – it’s an absolutely monstrous act. I would like to note that international humanitarian law stipulates that prisoners of war may not be tortured, abused, or killed."

2 years after Ukrainian POWs killed in Olenivka camp explosion, no one prosecuted

Ukrainian authorities have called the #Olenivka attack a deliberate Russian war crime, saying #Russia either hit the prison with artillery or blew it up from inside.

Kyiv said that days before the attack, Russians deliberately put Ukrainian members of the Azov Regiment, who were captured in Mariupol and were awaiting a prisoner exchange, to a separate part of the prison building that was later destroyed in the explosion.

‘I can’t justify this military operation any more’: the #IDF reservists refusing to return to #Gaza

Three Israeli reserve soldiers who fought in the war against Hamas say why they no longer want to be part of military

Early this year, he said: “We were given an order. We were inside a house and our commander ordered us to burn it down.”

When he raised the issue with the head of his company, he added: “The answers he gave me were not good enough. I said: ‘If we’re doing all of this for no reason, I’m not going to participate.’ I left the next day.”

Forensic Architecture: THE KILLING OF HIND RAJAB

Working closely with journalists from Al Jazeera’s Fault Lines, Forensic Architecture collaborated with Earshot to examine the circumstances surrounding the killing of Hind Rajab, her four cousins, her aunt and uncle, and the two paramedics who came to her rescue.

Our investigation sought to answer the following questions: Where were the Israeli military vehicles located the day that Hind’s car was attacked? From what position and proximity was Hind’s 15-year-old cousin Layan killed after being connected by phone to Palestine Red Crescent dispatchers? Would it have been possible for the shooter to see Layan before killing her? What type of munition was used? From what position and direction was the ambulance shot? Could answers to these questions help us to identify the perpetrators of the shootings?

Blair government accused #IDF of acting like Russian army in West Bank

Tony Blair’s government accused #Israeli forces of acting more like the “Russian army than that of a civilised country” during a major military incursion into the occupied West Bank, newly released official files show.

The tensions, which have eerie parallels to western concerns over current Israeli operations in the #Gaza Strip, are laid bare in papers released by the National Archives.
