A Supreme Court of the self-declared Republic of Donetsk opened the trial after it was captured by Russian troops
The Supreme Court of the self-declared republic of Donetsk on Thursday sentenced to death two British citizens and a Moroccan accused of participating in the war in Ukraine on behalf of the Ukrainian side.
The Donetsk judiciary began on Monday the trial of Sean Piner, Aiden Aslin and Sadun Brahim, imprisoned by Russian troops in the context of the war and who admitted some of the crimes attributed to them on Wednesday.
Now that “all the evidence” has been analyzed, the Supreme Court has proved the accused’s guilt and ruled that they “should be sentenced to death,” according to Russia’s TASS news agency.
The Donetsk Justice Department accuses Piner, Aslin and Brahim of committing crimes as a group, including the forced seizure of power, and accuses them of acting as mercenaries in the war in Ukraine.
Shortly after the start of the war, the President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky, launched the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Legion, a detachment with which Kiev sought to expand its ranks with international volunteers.
More than a hundred days ago, more than a hundred days ago, according to Russian authorities, nearly 7,000 foreigners from more than 60 countries have joined the Ukrainian armed forces to participate in the conflict.
Russia says just over 1,000 of these “foreign mercenaries” were captured, while about 400 were held during the siege of the Azovstal steel plant.
