+0.42 Russia soldiers tell BBC they saw fellow troops executed on commanders' orders (www.bbc.co.uk)
11 points by BerislavLopac 13 hours ago | 1 comments on HN | Editorial coverage of documented human rights violations (Articles 3, 5, 6, 19, 23) with structural support for freedom of expression and open access. Strong positive signal on life/security threats and forced labor. Weaker signals on due process, presumption of innocence, and justice mechanisms. Public broadcaster context amplifies accessibility and mission alignment. Editorial · vv3.4 · 2026-02-24
