UN: Kiev authorities must investigate the facts of torture committed by Ukrainian battalions in the east of the country

Kiev should investigate reports of illegal detentions, abductions and torture committed in the south-east of the country by paramilitary units controlled by the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, according to a report by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. This newspaper reports Look.

UN: Kiev authorities must investigate the facts of torture committed by Ukrainian battalions in the east of the country


“The monitoring mission received reports of human rights violations committed by territorial defense battalions under the Ministry of Defense and special battalions under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This includes cases of arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances and torture. ”- the report says.

“Allegations of such activities by these volunteer battalions must be investigated, and those responsible must be held accountable- noted in the document.

“In addition to this, the relevant ministries should better control the volunteer battalions, in particular, instructing them in the field of international humanitarian law”- indicate the experts of the organization.

The report states that “from mid-April to 16 of August, the security service of Ukraine, as well as members of the said battalions, detained over a thousand people in Donbass who were accused of violating Ukraine’s territorial integrity or terrorist activities.

“The cases examined by the monitoring mission suggest that during these arrests criminal procedural law was violated, especially when detentions were committed by volunteer battalions”- note the authors of the report.

They also draw attention to the fact that the right of the detainees “to the presumption of innocence and the right to privacy” was violated, when later videos with their images appeared on television and on the Internet.

«According to the Criminal Code, illegal detention is a crime, and as a result, an illegally detained person must be released immediately. It does not seem to be the case with arrests tracked by the monitoring mission. ”, - the authors emphasize.

In addition, the document draws attention to the fact that the law-enforcement structures of Ukraine “turn a blind eye to the actions of supporters of the Kiev authorities”. As an example, experts described the case of the detention of militants of the Right Sector in the Transcarpathian region, when an entire arsenal of rifle gunmen was found in their car weapons, grenades and explosives. "And although a criminal investigation was initiated into the illegal possession of weapons, the suspects were released the same day. ”- note the authors.

According to the data in the report, from July 16 to August 17 in eastern Ukraine “at least 1,2 thousand people were killed and at least 3250 were injured. Thus, on average, 36 people died per day, and 98 were injured. ”

In total, “since the beginning of the armed conflict in mid-April, 2220 people have died in the battles in the east of the country, among them at least 23 children. 5956 people were injured, including at least 38 children. ”

According to experts, about half of the population have left Donetsk and Lugansk. "The population remaining in the administrative centers is estimated at the level of 200-500 thousand in Donetsk and about 250 thousand in Lugansk"- the report says.

According to the NTV channel, the UN monitoring mission in Ukraine was created in March of this year “to collect information on possible human rights violations”. Previous reports were distributed monthly by the mission, starting in April.

      Either these commissioners' eyes and ears began to open in the winter, or now it has become profitable for them. It is not clear yet. After all, Russia called up about these facts at all levels, and they have earplugs and blinders in their eyes ...

            He’s already wearing a troll costume! A new tag has appeared, costume gate! wassat

            The US president wrote down a television message about the situation in Ukraine and the fight against the Islamic State group in a light beige suit, which caused a wave of ridicule against Barack Obama and his taste.

            Thus, Damien Paletta, an economic columnist for the Wall Street Journal, wrote on Twitter: "Of course, I apologize, but in such a suit you can not declare war."

            In social networks where the president’s vestments are actively discussed, the hashtag “suitgate” (“suitgate”, scandal with a suit) has appeared, using the common suffix to name new public scandals by analogy with the Watergate scandal.

            One of the enthusiasts even started to keep an account on behalf of the notorious #Obamasuit costume, but Twitter management considered this a violation of the rules and froze the page.

            In the appeal, Obama said that the United States does not plan to conduct military operations to resolve the Ukrainian issue and is not looking for a military confrontation with Russia and said that a military strategy to combat IS fighters in Syria is still being considered, RIA Novosti reports.

            We will remind, earlier it was reported that Washington is trying to form an international coalition in order to jointly launch air strikes at the positions of militants from the Islamic State group.

            Oh, this Obama, an entertainer! laughing

        Here is such infa:

        The United States is beginning to distance itself sharply from Poroshenko and the war in Donbass. On August 27, it became known that the United States and Russia held "secret negotiations" in Finland on Ukraine in June 2014. This was reported by the Finnish Foreign Ministry.

        Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Vesa Hakkinen told the Associated Press that his agency helped organize a meeting on Boisto Island off the southern coast of Finland. However, he refused to provide more detailed information.

        According to the American magazine The Atlantic, the Finnish Foreign Ministry participated in organizing the meeting, but was not present at the talks. According to media reports, this was a meeting of experts and former high-ranking officials, at which "a plan was developed for the possible organization of a diplomatic discussion at a high level in order to resolve the crisis in Ukraine."

      Good day, friends! Off topic found in the vast liberal site of RBC

      Two wounded Ukrainian officers blew themselves up with 12 Russian paratroopers, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Defense Ministry told RBC. According to him, we are talking about the military personnel of the 51st brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - Majors Oleksandr Kandesyuk and Oleksiy Shepelyuk.

      “As a result of the Russian offensive on the territory of Ukraine, the 51st APU brigade was surrounded. As of the evening of August 25, most of the battalion tactical group was disabled, and it was decided to make a breakthrough, ”the representative of the ministry said.

      Kandesyuk, together with Shepelyuk, the commander of the anti-aircraft missile battery, led the vanguard of the breakthrough group along with their squad - a sergeant and two soldiers. They were ambushed, as a result of which Kandesyuk received several wounds from an enemy machine gun, the report said.

      Shepelyuk, according to the Ukrainian military, rushed to bring the officer out of the fire, but he was seriously injured. The remaining members of the avant-garde group were fired from machine guns, mortars and direct fire from the Shilka [anti-aircraft self-propelled gun], all personnel were seriously wounded. The main group, through heavy fire, could not come to their aid, and, retreating to the base camp, took up a circular defense.

      “Eyewitnesses say that they saw how 12 Russian paratroopers surrounded the wounded Ukrainian soldiers and, threatening with weapons, tried to capture them. When the enemies, creating a ring, approached a distance of several meters, the wounded Ukrainian officers rose from the ground and raised their hands, ”said the representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

      “It was noticeable that they were holding something in their hands, and after a moment there were several powerful explosions, similar to explosions of grenades. Obviously, officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, majors Oleksandr Kandesyuk and Oleksiy Shepelyuk, not wanting to give up, blew themselves up together with a numerically superior enemy. Now the command of the ATO [anti-terrorist operation] is preparing a submission for awarding the victims the title of Hero of Ukraine, ”he added.

      The report of self-disruption of Ukrainian officers disappeared from the official Facebook of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. “Information about the anti-aircraft gunners is being clarified, a search is underway for new parts and clarification of newly discovered circumstances. As soon as we receive the full material, we will immediately publish it and answer all your questions! ” - says the last message on the department’s page.

      The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet confirmed information about the losses among paratroopers in Ukraine.
