Situation of human rights in the Russian Federation. Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Russian Federation, Mariana Katzarova (A\/HRC\/60\/59)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The present report is submitted by the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Russian Federation, Mariana Katzarova, pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 57\/20. While trends identified in previous reports have persisted, 2024 and 2025 were marked by yet further consolidation and expansion of repressive tools, particularly the use of national security legislation to silence dissent and restrict civic space. Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, Russian authorities have intensified their use of criminal prosecution, long-term imprisonment, intimidation, torture and ill-treatment to silence opposition to the war. Nevertheless, grave violations of international human rights and humanitarian law are committed with impunity in this war against Ukraine, which leads to the escalation of repression in the Russian Federation itself. The report includes updated evidence-based findings on the deteriorating human rights situation in both law and practice, offering analysis and recommendations to the Russian authorities and the international community<\/p>\n\n\n\n
