Denisova: Invaders terrorizing population in temporarily occupied territories
"Russcist occupiers are terrorizing the local population in the temporarily occupied territories," Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Liudmyla Denisova posted on Telegram.
According to her, on Sunday, the so-called "military commander" signed an appeal to the residents of Nova Kakhovka, Tavriysk, and Kakhovka, announcing a curfew and a ban on carrying weapons and holding assemblies, rallies, or pickets.
According to Denisova, violators of these "requirements" are threatened to be brought to severe responsibility and taken to the military law enforcement agencies.
"In the city of Enerhodar, Russcist soldiers beat and torture people right on the streets, abduct passers-by, take away cars. In the temporarily occupied villages in Kyiv region, Russian militants loot and smash houses, taking away residents' belongings and food,” she wrote.
As Russian prisoners of war confess, their command ordered them to switch to self-sustaining, which means that the looting of the aggressor state's army in Ukraine was "legitimized."
The Commissioner stressed that the terror of civilians is a war crime defined by the Charter of the International Military Tribunal and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and a violation of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.
Denisova called on the international community to take these facts into account when increasing pressure on the terrorist state to end the war and withdraw the army of Russian invaders from Ukraine.
"Nuremberg II is waiting for the Russcist leadership and the military," Denisova stressed.
On February 24, Russian president Putin declared war on Ukraine and launched a large-scale invasion. Russian troops shell and destroy infrastructure, conduct massive shelling of residential areas of Ukrainian cities and towns using artillery, MLRS, and ballistic missiles.
Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced.
