Preambule
http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/sanctions-against-persons-responsible-for-the- Sanctions against persons responsible for the imprisonment of Nadiya Savchenko. February 16, 2015.

We urge the imposition of personal sanctions against persons responsible for the kidnapping, arrest and imprisonment of Ukraine’s PACE delegate, people’s deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Ukrainian citizen Nadiya Savchenko, as well as for other gross violations of human rights in the Russian Federation.

Savchenko, a Ukrainian servicewoman, volunteered to participate in the anti-terrorist operation in the east of Ukraine. She was kidnapped by the terrorists of the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) and taken to the Russian Federation. She is falsely accused of involvement in the killing of Russian journalists in the ATO zone and has been kept in detention on the territory of the Russian Federation.

She was kidnapped by the terrorists of the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) and taken to the Russian Federation. She is falsely accused of involvement in the killing of Russian journalists in the ATO zone and has been kept in detention on the territory of the Russian Federation.

We are convinced that a failure to punish the accomplices in the case of Savchenko’s kidnapping and illegal detention would constitute a dangerous precedent in international law.Given that the Russian Federation:• is a member of the United Nations Organisation, Organisation on Security and Cooperation in Europe, Council of Europe, and International Monetary Fund;• has ratified the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and United Nations Convention against Corruption;• is bound by legal commitments, laid down in the European Convention on Human Rights,

With a request to • Restrict entry to countries involved;• Block access to bank accounts and seize property in countries involved;• Assist in the objective investigation into, and proper punishment of, those responsible for the kidnapping, arrest and imprisonment of Nadiya Savchenko
