Russian occupation officials illegally
Russian occupation officials illegally insist that Russian law applies to the occupied territories, and state that any exercise of freedom of religion or belief not permitted will be punished under Russia’s Criminal or Administrative Codes. This illegally bans and punishes activities such as unregistered meetings for worship, or protesting for a religious reason against Russia’s war and occupation of Ukrainian territory. Under the Geneva Convention (IV) relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (2nd part), occupation authorities must respect the laws in force in the country (Ukraine) “unless absolutely prevented”. สล็อต
