The interim report of the UN Secretary General on the situation with human rights in Crimea will be presented at the session of the UN Human Rights Council, starting on Monday. This was stated by the first deputy foreign minister of Ukraine Emine Djeppar on Facebook on Saturday, June 19."The report records the continuing practices of illegal persecution of Crimeans, the use of torture for self-incrimination, the transfer of illegally convicted persons to the territory of Russia, the impunity of the bodies of the Russian occupation authorities, including the FSB," Geppar said.
In addition, the retrospective application of Russian legislation is noted, in particular for the attack on freedom of the media and deprivation of housing for Crimeans, which is actually one of the forms of forced change in the demographic composition of the population.
Finally, the lawlessness of the "authorities" of the annexed peninsula also includes an attack on religious freedom, in particular, it is about the persecution of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
"These are the practices in violation of international law that Russia brought with it as an occupation power in the Ukrainian lands of Crimea and Donbass," Jappar summed up.
