Russia has withdrawn from the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. This was reported by the Council of Europe. Russia has been a member of the treaty since 1998. The Council of Europe added that since Russia's full invasion of Ukraine, the Committee on Torture has received numerous reports of alleged acts of torture and ill-treatment in places of detention both in the territory of the Russian Federation and in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.
