This report aims to shed light on violations of human rights in Slovyansk and the restoration of peace in eastern Ukraine after 2014. The book is based on testimonies of civilians who witnessed violations of human rights or were affected by military hostilities in the city of Slovyansk from April to July 2014. The report analyzes the functioning of illegal prisons, persecution of residents for religious beliefs, minors’ involvement in armed groups, forced labor, and human trafficking in places of detention, as well as problems of shelling and mining of civil infrastructure. It also discusses the deployment of pro-Russian propaganda in the city, problems of access to medical care during the city’s capture, and the search for ways to reconcile after the Ukrainian government regained control over Slovyansk

The report outlines the violations of human rights and international humanitarian law in the village of Shyrokyne (Donetsk region) documented by the Eastern-Ukrainian Center for Civic Initiatives during the armed conflict in the Donbas.

The study pays considerable attention to shelling of the village and its consequences, deaths and injuries among civilians, and the looting of residents’ property. The report examines the socio-economic and legal problems of Shyrokyne residents forced to leave the village. An important part of the report concerns participation of representatives of the Russian Federation in the military operations in the South of Donetsk region, as well as investigation of crimes committed in the village of Shyrokyne.
