Amnesty International: Ukraine violates rights of prisoners of war.
Amnesty International reiterated that the rights of prisoners of war must be respected, without torture, physical and psychological pressure, or inhumane treatment.
247 - Ukraine is violating the rights of Russian prisoners of war, whose images are being released by Ukrainian authorities, according to a statement made by the human rights NGO Amnesty International on Monday, the 7th.
The NGO denounced that captured Russian soldiers are being taken to Ukrainian government press conferences to talk about the role they played in its military operation in Ukraine.
Some show signs of having been beaten and, in addition to criticizing Moscow, say that they were used as pawns by Moscow and that they did not understand the scale of the conflict.
Amnesty International stressed that the rights of prisoners of war must be respected in accordance with the Third Geneva Convention, which prohibits torture, physical and psychological coercion, and inhuman treatment.
"Any public appearance could put prisoners of war at risk when they return to their country of origin, as well as create a problematic situation for their families," said Joanne Mariner, director of the crisis response sector at the NGO.
