What is Ukraine doing to ensure the treatment and safe return home of ex-prisoners illegally taken by russian special services from the temporarily occupied Kherson region?
Our Yanina Stemkovska is not afraid to ask direct questions to representatives of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine during the joint PEPFAR COP23 planning meeting in Ukraine and the National Dialogue in preparation of the country's request to the Global Fund. The event takes place March 13-17, 2023 in Warsaw, Poland.
Yanina Stemkovskaya's participation in the event was provided by our Ukrainian partners "100% of Life" - Network of PLHIV
▪️Recall that in the fall of 2022, more than 2,500 Ukrainians who were in the institutions of the penitentiary system of the temporarily occupied Kherson region were taken by Russian special services through Crimea to Russia. After the end of the term of serving the sentence, the released Ukrainians are transferred indefinitely to the local TDCFC (Temporary Detention Center for Foreign Citizens). There is currently no single mechanism for the deportation.
We continue to support Ukrainians who are in Russian prisons and are looking for resources to help each of them return home. It seems impossible, but in spite of everything, we believe in the power of civil society and in the power of goodness. Good always and invariably conquers any evil.
