1/9 The world saw Mariana return home yesterday.

The world should also see, the photos of Mariana lead by representatives of @UN & @ICRC to what they promised would be her safety. Instead she was given to those who illegally held her, starved & tortured her for 2 years!

How!?

2/9 Mariana Chechelyuk & her sister was sheltering in Azovstal during the battle of Mariupol, when on May 1st 2022 they were finally told a safe corridor had been set in motion to evacuate civilians taken to Zaporizhzhia. Instead they were taken to Bezymenny for "filtration".

3/9 A year later Marianas parents made a public plea: “our daughters were moved to Bezimenne, under the DPR control. The UN & Red Cross broke their promises and left them behind in that place. In the hands of russians filtration, Mariana was unlawfully detained”

4/9“Mariana was moved to a pre-trial detention facility in Donetsk, where she then was held in a SHU for 2 months in inhumane conditions. 2 months without sunlight or fresh air
- for what crime??”Her parents said praying for her release & answers to the wrongdoing of their child!

5/9 She was moved to the notorious detention center in Olenivka, where the horrific massacre of russian executed Ukrainian POW’s by locking them in the prison & burned them alive. In the first 10 months of captivity Mariana was moved & held in at least 5 Detention center.

6/9 When Mariana was returned home to Ukraine yesterday, she had been illegally imprisoned for more than 2 years, and the world saw the heartbreaking toll the russian captivity and the inhumane treatments had taken on the now 24-year old girl.

7/9 With the systematic abuse & torture she endured during the two years in detention, Mariana's health has deteriorated. Her mother said among many things Mariana now suffer respiratory diseases and untreated sickness that developed a chronic form of bronchitis.

8/9 For 2 years she suffered in the most horrific ways
For 2 years her parents tirelessly fought for answers, release & survival

Marianas life should NEVER have been left in the hands of russians yet she was handed to them by those swearing to be protecting civilians during war!

9/9 The @UN who documents russias grotesque war crimes, and stand for accountability: where is yours?

How many civilians have been promised safety, only to be left tortured, abused and murdered by the aggressors of this war because you walked away?

@UN when there’s a clear aggressor vs victim. Right vs wrong. Being “neutral” only benefits the ones doing the crimes.

You can’t claim you do it for safety & peace, when the most vulnerable is neglected & becomes the bargaining piece.

BL: support Ukraine, by support TO Ukraine.
