Abduction of people and property
Abduction is the unlawful seizure and detention of a person or someone else's property. This term encompasses both abductions of persons (including forced disappearances, unlawful detention, and unlawful confinement) and theft of material valuables. Against the backdrop of the military conflict in Ukraine, abductions are often associated with the activities of Russian troops and occupation authorities, as well as with domestic crimes. Materials on this topic highlight cases of abductions of citizens, officials, and cultural valuables.
