Moscow (Voice Of Russia) Russia’s Human Rights Commissioner, Tatyana Moskalkova, has appealed to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights regarding the continued unlawful detention of ten residents from Russia’s Kursk Region in Ukraine.
“I have sent a letter to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, informing him that ten people from the Kursk Region are still being held in Ukraine without cause, in violation of the Geneva Conventions,” Moskalkova told reporters. “I remain hopeful that both the international community and reasonable decision-makers in Ukraine will take action.”
Moskalkova added that she is in ongoing dialogue with Ukrainian authorities concerning the return of the detained Kursk residents.
According to the commissioner, two residents from the Kursk Region were returned from Ukraine last Thursday, but ten remain in custody. She noted that some of the individuals taken by Kiev forces during incursions into Russia’s border areas are still being held as hostages.
