Bulletguy Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 This is a press conference of captured Russian infantry men in Ukraine. Ignore the incorrect YT title of pilots as all are soldiers. Understandably it's conducted in Russian but with English subtitling and what they have to say is very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletguy Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 CurtainRaiser - 2022-04-30 9:38 PM To show videos of POW is a clear breach of the Geneva Convention. Not according to this; https://tinyurl.com/5drkeun3 https://fullfact.org/law/prisoners-war-geneva-convention-photographs/ I would however argue if done with malicious intent would undoubtedly breach a ruling within the convention.

If Mr. Putin wants to complain, he will have to admit it IS a war - so far he has denied that. Interesting video anyway - so thanks for posting. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any video made showing beatings then that is obviously a breach. https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/geneva-convention-relative-treatment-prisoners-war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtainRaiser Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Remember this? That's why it's a breach, we don't know what is happening behind the camera. Nor do we know what might happen to their families in Russia. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/real-life/tortured-raf-man-looks-back-7189343 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
