The Ukrainian Parliament's Commissioner for Human Rights, Lyudmila Denisova, on Monday, said that over a million Ukrainian citizens have been deported to Russia, APA reports citing EuroNews.
Denisova said among the 1,185,000 Ukrainians who have been forcibly removed from the country across the border are some 200,000 children.
"Violations of our citizens' fundamental rights and freedoms continue in the occupied territories. First of all, this is the right to life," she said.
She added that over 20,000 Ukrainians have been sent from Mariupol to "filtration camps" in the separatist-controlled east.
"Our citizens are taken there for the filtration procedure so that some of the citizens who do not pass the so-called filtration can be taken away. The fate of these people is unknown to us. Those people who pass the filtration will be transported to the Russian Federation. They will be forcibly deported," Denisova said.
