What do you know about International Human Rights Day?

It is celebrated every year on December 10, since the UNGA adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, to promote the proper functioning of the international human rights system.

Human rights are an integral part of being human.

What do you know about places of detention and filtration camps of the Russian Federation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine? One of such well-known “symbols” of Russian Federation crimes is the territory of the former cultural center “Izolyatsia” in Donetsk (https://izolyatsia.ui.org.ua/en/). It is a de facto concentration camp where unarmed people were shot, tortured, and imprisoned for more than 10 years, and which is still operational today.

Since December 2020, the @MFA of Ukraine, the @Ukrainian Institute and the @IZOLYATSIA.

Platform for Cultural Initiatives have been testifying to the world as part of the #IzolyatsiaMustSpeak information campaign about these crimes of the Russian Federation.

The leveling by the Russian Federation of universal values of humanity, unfreedom, untruth, which are the most obvious evidence of the real face of the terrorist state, are screened, in particular, in the documentary film “Izolyatsia” (directed by I.Minaev, http://surl.li/ixytso) and in the biographical film about S.Aseyev “The Bright Path / Heller Weg” (directed by I.Ryabenka, http://surl.li/tvvcyg).

The picture is made up of puzzles. “Izolyatsia” is one of them and is an existing example of where the path of appeasement of the aggressor leads. The Russian Federation shows by all its means that it is interested only in war. Waiting for concessions from the Russian Federation is a waste of time and lives.

As long as all prisoners in the illegal “Izolyatsia” prison and similar filtration camps in the territories of Ukraine temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation are not released, as long as the inevitability of punishment for these crimes is not ensured and there are no provisions to prevent them in the future, we continue to insist on the establishment of a full-fledged international ad hoc tribunal on the crime of aggression against Ukraine committed by the political and military leadership of the Russian Federation.
