In another legal development today, a top European court has found Russia guilty of committing multiple human rights violations since it annexed the Crimean peninsula a decade ago.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) said breaches included violations of the the right to life, the prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment, freedom of religion and freedom of expression among others.
The ruling, on a case brought by Ukraine, ordered Moscow to "take measures as soon as possible for the safe return of the relevant prisoners transferred from Crimea to penal facilities located on the territory of the Russian Federation".
