Forced disappearances and harassment of civil society activists and journalists have become commonplace in the temporarily occupied Crimean peninsula

So far, public activist and journalist Iryna Danilovich has disappeared.

On April 29, 2022, she was detained by the occupier's police.

At about the same time, they searched Iryna Danilovych's house. According to Irina's parents, the racists reported that the public activist had been arrested for 10 days for passing some "non-secret information" to a public organization.

Today is the 12th day since the abduction of Ukrainian citizen Iryna Danilovych.  Her whereabouts are unknown.  The father and her lawyer filed complaints with the occupation authorities about the abduction, but no response has been received so far.

Iryna Danilovich worked as a nurse, was a journalist, covered the problems of the health care system in Crimea and disseminated real information about the war in Ukraine.

The Russian Federation has imprisoned at least 13 Crimean journalists since 2014.  These are Crimean Tatar media outlets Osman Arifmemetov, Marlen Asanov, Asan Akhtemov, Remzi Bekirov, Timur Ibragimov, Server Mustafayev, Seyran Saliyev, Ruslan Suleymanov, Rustem Sheikhaliev and Amet Suleymanov, as well as journalists Oleksiy Jesperal  people, in the past a journalist.

Such actions of rashists violate the provisions of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, Article 5 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which guarantees everyone the right to privacy, IV Geneva Convention for the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, European Convention  on human rights.

I appeal to the UN Commission for Investigation Human Rights Violations during the Russian Military Invasion of Ukraine to take into account these facts of human rights violations in Ukraine.
