<p>We are extremely concerned by reports from Eastern Ukraine of the seizing and sealing
of churches and other places of worship, forced cancellation of services and arrests
and harassment of clergy. This is part of a wider pattern of human rights violations
and abuses perpetrated by Russian-backed separatists in the non-government controlled
areas of eastern Ukraine.</p><p>We continue to call on Russia to use its considerable
influence over the separatists to ensure respect for all human rights, and on all
sides to implement recommendations contained in the reports of the Office of the UN
High Commissioner for Human Rights.</p>
