“Incidents of enforced disappearances and attacks on clergy in the occupied territories are widespread,” the three Special Rapporteurs noted. They expressed their “serious concern” over the reports of “enforced disappearances and torture or ill-treatment of clergy in the occupied territories in violation of international human rights law”. “Please urgently provide information on any members of the clergy from the occupied territories currently detained by Russian authorities,” the Special Rapporteurs asked. The Russian Permanent Mission to the UN replied on 21 November 2023, claiming it “has the honour to note the unacceptable nature of the content of the communication”. The Russian government went on to claim that “all requests made in a manner offensive to the authorities and population of the Russian Federation, using language that is inconsistent with the principle of respect for the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the territorial integrity of Russia, will be left unanswered.” สล็อตเว็บตรง
