The relevant statement was made by Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Liudmyla Denisova on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“Two children under the age of 10 with signs of rape and torture were found dead in the city of Irpin,” Denisova wrote.
In Kyiv Region, the Prolisok children’s camp has been used as a base by the rashist army unit for three weeks. Five corpses of men with their hands tied behind their backs were found in the basement of the building. They were tortured and then killed in cold blood. One of the victims had his skull crushed with butt blows with special hardness. Others were shot in the back of the head or chest.
In the village of Viktorivka, Chernihiv Region, which has been under occupation for 25 days, rashists held people hostage in the basement, from the elderly to newborns. Residents were escorted to collect at least a bucket of water. No medicines were provided, even to those whose life depends on certain medications. A man with asthma died, and Russian militants ordered the hostages to bury the body next to them in the woods.
In Konotop District, Sumy Region, at least three civilians tortured to death were found within the sites of former enemy camps.
Due to inhumane living conditions and infections brought by Russian occupiers, a number of diseases started to spread, including chickenpox.
According to Denisova, torture and killing of civilians is a crime against humanity and a war crime under Articles 7 and 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, for which rashists are awaited by an international military tribunal.
Denisova appealed to the UN Commission for Investigation into Human Rights Violations during Russia’s Military Invasion of Ukraine and the expert mission set up by the OSCE participating States under the Moscow Mechanism to take into account these war crimes and crimes against humanity and human rights in Ukraine, which are committed by Russian troops.
