“If non-forceful methods do not ensure the fulfillment of the duties assigned to the enforcement agencies,” then the “enforcement agencies” will be able to use combat techniques, rubber truncheons, handcuffs, stun guns and other special equipment. This is a quote from a new bill introduced to the State Duma. Speaking in human language, and not in porno-cliché, soon in Russia the bailiffs, barging into your home, will be able to “legally” try out their entire BDSM arsenal on you (mops are meant here by default, being one of Putin’s “traditional values”). And such a party could happen because of some utility debts, for example. In the meantime, bailiffs formally have the right to lawlessness only in courthouses, which they use with noticeable pleasure. So, Russian people, take mops and other devices with handles out of your house in advance. Or join the Resistance - this is the only way you can maintain your dignity and stop being an eternal victim. @rospartizan

45 OSCE participating States condemn arbitrary detention of Ukrainian civilians by the Russian Federation: Joint Statement on publication of the Moscow Mechanism Report - GOV.UK

The report states that: “Arbitrary deprivation of liberty of Ukrainian civilians started in the unlawfully annexed Crimea in spring 2014, and quickly spread to the areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions controlled by the so-called People’s Republics. Since the outbreak of the full-scale invasion on 24 February 2022, this practice has become pervasive in all the areas that have got under the temporary occupation of the Russian Federation.” Further, the report states that: “Although the context of ongoing international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation makes establishing the exact number of such civilians impossible, the Mission has concluded that this number is large and can be measured in the thousands.” The Mission established that the Russian Federation “has disrespected and continues to disrespect the special status of three staff members of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM), arbitrarily detaining for almost two years now and subjecting them to trial for activities carried out while working for the SMM”, and that “the continued detention of staff members of the OSCE SMM is incompatible with OSCE commitments arising in respect to Russia.” The Mission has further established that Ukrainian civilians arbitrary detained by the Russian Federation: “have been subjected to torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, sexual violence and other forms of serious mistreatment”; and that “the information gathered as well as testimonies received by the Mission clearly indicate widespread and systematic use of torture by the Russian authorities against detained Ukrainian civilians.” The Mission’s experts also concluded that Ukrainian civilian detainees: “have endured harsh conditions of detention and have been denied contact with the outside world, turning their deprivation of liberty into incommunicado detention and enforced disappearances.” Ukrainian civilian detainees “have been denied fundamental fair trial guarantees in criminal prosecutions.” The Mission concluded that Ukrainian civilian detainees: “have died due to the injuries suffered as a result of torture and other cruel, inhuman degrading treatment or punishment. […] there are also reports of detainees dying due to ignoring health problems in the penitentiary facilities as well as Crimean political prisoners being sent for forced psychiatric examinations”. Moreover, the Mission found that: “The information gathered and testimonies received by the Mission also indicate consistent denial of medical assistance to the Ukrainian civilians detained by the Russian authorities”. Ukrainian civilian detainees “reported harsh punishments for speaking Ukrainian, singing Ukrainian songs as well as being forced to sing the Russian anthem and swear allegiance to the Russian flag.” Finally, “The Mission concludes that extrajudicial killings of Ukrainian civilian detainees by the Russian authorities, as well as the failure to investigate properly allegations of such killings, constitute a serious violation of IHRL and IHL and may amount to a war crime and a crime against humanity.”

"I doubt it was suicide"

And he, of course, found himself during the war. Here it is important to say about the character of my father. He was very principled, somewhat of an idealist; he always had to fight for his beliefs. My father liked this fight. He is a person prone to this, he has a very fighting character. And this opportunity to help Ukrainians after the start of the war inspired him. Back in 2014, my father went to Maidan to see everything that was happening with his own eyes, he was there. He has friends in Ukraine.

The FSB tortured a person detained on suspicion of undermining railway tracks with electric current - Crimean human rights defenders ➜ ZMINA

During the interrogation, despite the recognition of my guilt, I was subjected to torture, namely: I was put on a chair, my hands and feet were tied with tape, electric wires were attached to my fingers... During the torture, I always had a mask on my head, electric torture lasted about an hour ," Barannyk said. However, after admitting his guilt, the FSB officers continued the torture, accusing Barannyk of one more sabotage - blowing up the railway near the village of Chistenke, Simferopol district, on May 18. Simferopolets reported two more cases of torture by electric current: on the night of June 5-6 and June 9-10. Torture lasted for 6 hours. FSB officers forced me to slander myself for committing a crime that I did not commit. First, they tortured me with electric shocks, connecting electrical terminals to my fingers, toes, earlobes, and buttocks. They threatened to rape me with a stick, I took the threats seriously. Then they hit him with hands and feet on the body and head, as a result of which, I assume, a rib on the right side was broken. According to him, after the beating, his kidneys hurt a lot, he partially lost sensitivity in his right hand. " Then they put me on a military stretcher, tied my hands and feet with tape, put a rag on my face and started pouring water, simulating drowning. Torture by drowning was periodically changed to torture by electric current. All this time, they demanded that I confess to a crime that I did not commit ," says Kyrylo

A resident of Ryazan said that he was beaten by the military, who mistook him for a saboteur. According to him, when they realized that they had made a mistake, they passed off the situation as a fall from a motorcycle. Ruslan recently bought himself a motorcycle and decided to test it before the season. According to other motorcyclists, the best place for this was the road near the military airfield. Ruslan went there, but when he saw that there were no traces of other motorcycles, he turned around and left. The man refueled the motorcycle and took it to the garage. On the way, he was stopped by three armed men who introduced themselves as members of the “Whirlwind” detachment. They asked if Ruslan was near the airfield, took away his motorcycle, and took him to headquarters. The man tried to explain that he had not done anything illegal - there were no restrictive signs on the road. Ruslan himself unlocked the phone and offered to show his passport with registration (it was registered in the area of ​​the Dyaghilevo military airfield), but the military did not listen to him. The man was taken to the elder’s office, introduced as a spy, and as evidence they told about a broken wire allegedly found near the airfield. According to Ruslan, he naturally denied all the accusations, but to no avail. As further evidence, the military pointed to the Ukrainian telegram channel to which Ruslan was subscribed. The man explained that this is a pro-Russian channel, and everything else in his subscriptions are Russian publications and military correspondents. The arguments did not convince anyone - according to him, four masked people continued to beat Ruslan, and they also tried to tear off his ear with pliers. As the man said, in the end the military realized that they had made a mistake and called the traffic police squad. Ruslan was ordered to remain silent about what happened, and the police were ordered to tell the story of how he fell from the motorcycle. Ruslan was taken to the police department, issued a fine for driving without license plates, and an ambulance was called. Doctors diagnosed the man with a fracture of the eye socket, nose and ribs, a contusion of the left eye, pneumothorax, and multiple bruises. The police came to see him at the hospital - this time he wrote a statement. The statement was also accepted by the military prosecutor's office.

5 years forced labor for street interview

Kokhovets, in response to a question from journalists, mentioned the killing of civilians in Bucha, Kyiv region. “Our government says that it wants to fight nationalists, but it bombs shopping centers; in Bucha, our military from Buryatia and Dagestan shot civilians - for no reason at all. And people begin to hate this whole thing. All this needs to be stopped; one person can stop it. As soon as he stops this, we will have detente in relations with NATO and with all other countries,” Kokhovets said.

Idk how it's possible to say russia doesn't significantly influence the US when certain people and certain segments of society parrot the exact terms, phrases and ideas that Russian bots use. Only these are real live people. It's ridiculous.

At first I got angry...but then noticed the usernames.

What is the probability that two users with stereotypical American male names + random numbers, who instantly reblog from each other, are real people? I say pretty darn low. Even though their blogs seem genuine at first glance, I think they are bots aimed specifically at the US audience. I think they either real people (=russian employees) or, most likely, AI. They would probably argue with you and hold the conversation pretty well if you tried to talk to them.

Be mindful people, we live in crazy times. Safer not to get into any arguments online, bots or not.

upd: I think it's the ukraineneedsairdefense tag attracted bots

#ok #im just like. rrr #but yes #it bothers me #but why argue w bots #how do we stop them tho #real ppl start to sound like bots... #maga parrot them #and ppl say russia doesnt influence us!?!?
