Many have been jailed on what she described as “Kafkian charges”, noting a priest’s seven-year sentence for a prayer in opposition to the warfare.

“They risk anything from death, like (opposition leader Alexei) Navalny, or really their health being completely taken away from them,” she mentioned on Monday forward of her speech to the U.N. council, noting better use of torture and solitary confinement.

Katzarova’s mandate is exclusive since she is the one unbiased professional mandated by the worldwide physique to report on one of many 5 states with a everlasting seat on the U.N. Safety Council.
