Росія офіційно вийшла з Європейської конвенції проти катувань
What happened
Russia's withdrawal from the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture takes effect on 1 November, ending independent monitoring of its detention facilities by the Council of Europe's anti-torture committee.
Moscow notified the Council of Europe of its decision on 30 October 2025, and the exit takes effect a year after notification, according to Radio Svoboda.
Russia had been a party to the Convention since 1998, and the committee made 30 visits to the country, covering more than 450 places of detention.
Russia was the only member state that systematically refused to let the committee's reports be published, and only four of the 30 were released.
Reports on ten visits to Chechnya and the North Caucasus between 2000 and 2017 remain unpublished, though the Council of Europe says Russia can still authorise their release.
The committee said it received numerous reports of alleged torture by Russian officials, in occupied Ukraine and inside Russia itself, but was denied access to verify them.
