#Taira (Julia Paevska) is a well-known Ukrainian sportswoman and a paramedic who saved more than 500 people during the war in Donbass.
On March 16, Julia was captured by Russians in besieged Mariupol 1/
where she was providing medical aid to local people as a volunteer. She was decommissioned from military service due to her disability, so she is protected under Geneva Conventions both as a medic and as a non-combatant. The Russian propaganda falsely accussed her to be a Nazi 2/
and a killer, and shown her in a humiliating video, in which she looked like she was tortured. She has a disability and requires medical aid. Russia refuses to list her as a prisoner of war, denies all contact with her, and we don’t even know if she is still alive.

The only hope to save her is through diplomacy and international pressure. We kindly ask you to do everything in your capacity to persuade Russia to set her free. 4/
