Donetsk, Apr 22 – DAN. Donetsk People’s Republic ombudswoman Darya Morozova demanded that the United Nations Organisation assess the actions by chief of the UN human rights mission in Ukraine who supported criminal prosecution of Donbass politicians by Kiev.

“Darya Morozova demanded proper assessment of actions by head of the UN human rights monitoring mission Matilda Bogner, as well as confirmation of the impartiality and independence in executing the Mission’s mandate in connection with the Donbass conflict,” the ombudswoman’s press service reported on Thursday.

The DPR ombudswoman sent a formal request to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet Jeria, following pubic approval of Kiev’s criminal prosecution of DPR officials and human rights activists.
