U.S officials stated Russia's compliance with an international treaty against torture and cruel and degrading punishment, highlighting, among a number of "troubling trends," the increasing intimidation of people and organizations trying to monitor human rights. Members of the United Nations committee against torture, said here on Friday that they were seriously concerned about "numerous and consistant reports" of threats, reprisals and deaths of human rights defenders and journalists in Russia. They also said that legal amendments recently enacted by president Vladimir V. Putin "undermined" the unite nations treaty. Reports of intimidation and even the killing of human rights defenders were found. Abuse and many troubling trends are occurring now in Russia and the UNCAT are trying to figure out how to make sure innocent people are safe from these horrible abusive actions taking place.
