During 1,5 year our team has made analysis of the effectiveness of the implementation and enforcement of the Law of Ukraine “On Social and Legal Protection of People Found to have been Deprived of Their Personal Liberty as a Result of Armed Aggression against Ukraine, and Members of Their Families”

This analytical review for April 2026 examines 16 testimonies concerning unlawful deprivation of liberty, enforced disappearance, torture, unlawful transfer, filtration, deportation and politically motivated persecution. The documented cases show recurring patterns of detention without legal grounds, concealment of whereabouts, violence, coercion, threats against relatives and prosecution by Russian or occupation structures. The findings bear indications of war crimes and may amount to crimes against humanity.
