Mariana Katzarova: A Mandate for the Russian People

Описание: “I’m not the story of persecution. The story is the Russian people.” A new episode of Swissinfo’s mini-documentary series follows Mariana Katzarova, the first United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Russia, as she exposes the reality of torture, political repression and arbitrary detention in today’s Russia.

The film follows Katzarova from UN Human Rights Council sessions, meetings at the European parliament in Brussels where she gathers testimonies from Ukrainian and Russian survivors of torture. It offers a rare insight into how international accountability mechanisms work.
