Since 2022, we have interviewed 196 witnesses to enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions and crimes against civilians. We have identified 203 civilians who were arbitrarily detained by representatives of the Russian Federation or groups controlled by the aggressor country, of whom 18 were identified during the processing of testimonies in July 2024.

Based on the results of the public discussion on the Day of the Political Prisoner, we have prepared recommendations for authorities to take action to protect the rights of prisoners and their families.
