The occupants set up concentration camps in the temporarily occupied cities and starve people to death

The Russian army is turning temporarily occupied and besieged cities and towns into concentration camps where civilians are starving, emphasized Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova.

Residents of Mariupol who fled the shelling of Mangush and Melekine are dying of hunger. The occupants do not allow the humanitarian aid transport with food, medicine and basic necessities in.

Depriving civilians of food and medicine is torture, a direct violation of the Geneva Conventions concerning the rights and protection of civilians in and around the war-zone, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights!
