Commissioner: another terrible crime against humanity - racists shot 56 elderly people in Luhansk region

Today it became known about another terrible crime against humanity committed by the racist occupation forces - the shooting of 56 elderly people in Luhansk region.

 In the town of Kreminna on March 11, the russian occupiers cynically and purposefully fired from a tank at a home for the elderly.

 56 residents who lived to their old age in the house died on the spot.  The survivors, 15 people, were abducted by the occupiers and taken to the occupied territory in Svatove to the regional geriatric boarding school.

 It is still impossible to get to the site of the tragedy to bury the dead old people.

 This is another act of horrific genocide - the extermination of the civilian population of Ukraine.

 For every such crime, for every innocent life taken, the leadership of the aggressor state must be held accountable in all the severity of international criminal law.

 I call on the International Criminal Court to take this fact into account in the investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity by the russian political and military leadership.

 I ask UN member states to speed up the establishment of the Special Military Tribunal.

 Rashist criminals must bear full responsibility for the atrocities in Ukraine!
