Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Liudmyla Denisova will attend the annual meeting of the Global Alliance for National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) in Geneva and tell about the violation of the rights of Ukrainian prisoners of war and political prisoners held in Russia.

"I am flying to Geneva to attend the annual meeting of the Global Alliance for National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI)... The meetings are held to share experience on the role of the national human rights institutions in protecting and promoting human rights. Once again, I want to draw the attention of the colleagues to the violation of the rights of Ukrainian prisoners of war and political prisoners who are held in Russian captivity," Denisova posted on Facebook.

She reminded that March 4 marked 100 days of captivity of Ukrainian sailors in Russia.

"Ukraine and all the countries of the civilized world call on the Russian Federation to abide by the norms of international humanitarian law, in particular, the norms of the 1949 Geneva Convention. Ukrainian sailors are the prisoners of war, and the Russian Federation must release them!" Denisova emphasized.
