    Torture Articles Used at UN

    Dear Vadim, I just wanted to write and tell you how important your article on torture cases in Russia was during the recent review at the UN Committee Against Torture [Geneva, July 26, 2018]. All the CAT members saw it and I was asked to verify it and vouched for you, I know all the cases. I think the experts asked a lot of hard questions, but the official [Russian] delegation only denied and ducked the questions, it is an effort to help people.

    Also, Marie Dupuy, Raoul Wallenberg’s niece, gave an interview to the BBC about the Wallenberg lawsuit (in Russian but Google translate also does an excellent translation)
