On 1 March 2023 the Subcommittee on Human Rights will discuss Ukrainian civilians illegally imprisoned and tortured in Russia and occupied territories of Ukraine, with the objective of raising awareness of the situation of Ukrainian civilians forcibly displaced since 24 February 2022 to the Russian Federation or the occupied territories of Ukraine, with some of them reportedly subject to "filtration" procedures and victims of human rights violations, such as torture or ill-treatment.
The exchange of views should also help identify the means allowing the international community to protect these people and the international human rights and humanitarian organisations to provide them with assistance.
