The Lugansk People’s Republic is to use the results of work of the working group on the search for burial sites of the Ukrainian aggression victims, their identification and perpetration of their memory to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights and International Criminal Court, LPR Head Leonid Pasechnik told reporters.
“We are preparing all these materials (for appeals to the ECHR and ICC – eds Lugansk Media Centre); exhumation, identification, documentation of crimes and identifying the suspects complicit in these crimes are actually in full swing. Documents are in the works,” Pasechnik said.
Donetsk People’s Republic Head Denis Pushilin who visited Lugansk added that the DPR leadership was carrying out the same work.
“We began this work a bit earlier. We’ve already received answers from the ECHR requesting more details and additional parameters. We’re now getting all additional parameters,” Pushilin said.
In August, LPR and DPR representatives signed an agreement in Lugansk on cooperation and information exchange in the search for victims of Ukrainian aggression and identification of their remains.
In the LPR, the first exhumation of Ukrainian aggression victims by the working group was carried out in the village of Sabovka, Slavyanoserbsk district, on August 11. As of now, remains of 267 Kiev aggression victims have been retrieved.
LPR authorities urged to report individual or mass graves or missing relatives (in zones of fighting since 2014 to date) using the working group’s hotline +38 (72) 216 80 30 or email to wg-img-lpr@ya.ru. *i*s
