Threatened with children: the Russian Federation deprives children in occupation of the opportunity to learn - research

The occupiers make Ukrainian children study under the Russian program, study Russian and anthem. They do not agree with them, they threaten to take the "re -education" in the kindergarten. The occupying power in the temporarily occupied territories tries to make children learn according to Russian programs. Students who do not want to go to educational institutions threaten to deport to Russian orphanages for "re -education".

This is stated in the study of the international non -governmental organization Amnesty International. It is noted that the organization spoke with 23 teachers and 16 families who have school -age children. The Ukrainians surveyed lived under occupation and left the territory controlled by Ukraine, or are still in temporarily occupied territories. The study states that despite repression and threats, some teachers and parents try to organize a Ukrainian program for children.

Teachers try to secretly pass books and hide mobile phones and laptops in the pits, so as not to be exposed by the invaders. Some parents do not allow their children to go to school. However, the invaders threaten to take children into orphanages. Such a story was told by the mother of a 15-year-old child from Kherson region. The woman said that at first a teacher who asked if the baby would go to school.

Already in early September, people in military uniform came to the family who threatened to take the child to the Russian kindergarten. The organization also talked with a teacher who left the temporarily occupied Berdyansk in July this year. It still continues to spend online tutorials with children under occupation. According to her, children are forced to teach Russian and anthem of the Russian Federation in occupation schools.

The woman also confirmed that all the opponents are threatened to send to the kindergarten for "re -education". The study also states that occupation schools send messages that say that Ukraine seems to be destroying cities and "if you do not want Ukraine to kill you, tell us everything you see and know about it. " We will remind, in November it was reported that the occupying power is not satisfied with the number of children who want to learn the Ukrainian language.
