Sequence of actions4 steps in sequence
1
Gathering Evidence
Collect medical certificates, extracts from civilian hospitals, audio recordings of conversations, screenshots of the soldier's messages about denial of medical care and threats from commanders.
Important: The more documents and precise dates you have, the harder it is for the prosecutor's office to dismiss your complaint.
2
Filing Emergency Complaints with the Military Prosecutor's Office
Send electronic and written appeals to the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, and the Ministry of Defense. Demand an incoming registration number.
Important: File complaints simultaneously with all authorities in the chain.
3
Appealing to the Human Rights Commissioner
Submit a statement to the Human Rights Commissioner of the Russian Federation and the regional ombudsman at the unit's location. Appeals from relatives regarding torture, detention in pits, and denial of medical care are subject to priority consideration.
Important: Highlight the direct risk of death due to the commander's unlawful actions.
4
Public Resonance and Collective Appeals
Unite with relatives of fellow servicemen. Collective appeals and mass filing of complaints force the command to withdraw the unit from the front line for inspections.
Important: A collective report from mothers breaks the plans for 'meat assaults'.
