Russia bans Internet searches for ‘extremist material’, broadening scope for terror in occupied Ukraine. khpg.org/en/1608814828

khpg's tweet card. This is the first time that Russia has introduced prosecution for a Google search, with even Putin chief propagandist indignant, albeit only because it will make denunciations more difficult

Mounting terror in occupied Crimea as FSB openly hide abducted Ukrainians while probably torturing out ‘confessions’. khpg.org/en/1608814805

khpg's tweet card. It is likely that Serhiy Hryshchenkov and many others are held without any official status to make it easier for the FSB to fabricate charges through torture and threats

Russia sentences Sevastopol man to 17 years amid massive increase in surreal ‘treason trials'. khpg.org/en/1608814796

khpg's tweet card. With the ‘trial’ of Vadym Sorokoletnov, and a huge number of other Ukrainians, held behind closed doors, the only certainty is, tragically, that they will end in ‘conviction’ and a long sentence
