Russia Has Illegally Detained, Tortured, and Executed Hundreds of Civilians in Ukraine, UN Report Finds

Russia arbitrarily detained over 800 civilians, including children and the elderly, since February 2017, with the majority detained by Russian forces according to a UN report.
The UN found widespread and systematic use of torture by Russian forces against civilians, including sexual violence.
civilians were executed after being detained by Russian forces.
Ukraine also illegally detained civilians but on a smaller scale, with over 50 reporting torture or mistreatment.
The UN found no evidence Russia investigated its forces for abuse and is concerned a new law could exempt perpetrators from prosecution for crimes in occupied Ukraine.
