Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Alexei Gromov, TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov, RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan, head of the Rossiya Segodnya media group Dmitry Kiselev and presenter Sergei Mardan may be subject to drastic measures from the International Criminal Court. This means issuing a warrant for their arrest.
The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), the Center for Civil Liberties (CCL) and the Kharkiv Human Rights Group made this request to the ICC.
“They all participated in a campaign of hatred against the Ukrainian civilian population, encouraging and supporting war crimes and other atrocities of Russia,” the appeal says.
The applicants submitted a document detailing the crimes committed by these persons.
Earlier, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Commissioner for Children's Rights in Russia, Maria Lvova-Belova.
