Another step towards justice: On 29 February, the OSCE launched the Moscow Mechanism on the arbitrary detention of Ukrainian civilians by Russia.
The launch of the Moscow Mechanism is one of the first stages of a larger plan that the members of the Coalition "Ukraine. Five o'clock in the Morning" Media Initiative for Human Rights together with the Coalition partners have developed to release civilian hostages and bring the perpetrators to justice.
On8 March, at 11.00, in the Coalition Talks format, we will talk to Liubov Smachylo, an analyst at the Media Initiative for Human Rights, who participated in advocating this issue in the OSCE.
